"Dear stranger,
My name is Noelle. I know this may seem a bit strange to write to someone that you do not even know, but perhaps we could get to know each other through writing the letters. I hope that you would at least respond, even if you do not want to continue writing. I know I don't have much time left, so you would be granting a dying girl's wish."
Noelle Burke is completely alone. All she has is her her mother, father, and little sister. She can't leave the house for anything other than a doctor's appointment, and her parents won't allow her to go to school. But it isn't their fault. Noelle has a deadly disease that even the doctor's aren't sure of. She isn't expected to live long, and her parents are just trying to protect her.
But she longs to have SOME form of contact with the outside world. To have friends like a normal girl. To fall in love. To laugh and smile all the time instead of scream and cry. And that's exactly what happens.
One small, sweet paper plane changes her life forever.
And maybe even someone else's life, too.
