Notes Left Behind

by Brooke Desserich, Keith Desserich Narrated by T. Ryder Smith, Coleen Marlo

Overview

amp;#8220;Elena has left behind a story of resilience, hope and most of all, love. We canamp;#8217;t help but take her into our hearts, and carry the best of her into our own lives.amp;#8221;

amp;#8212;Jeffrey Zaslow, coauthor of The Last Lecture

amp;#160;

Notes Left Behind by Brooke and Keith Desserich began as a journal they kept after their five-year-old daughter Elena was diagnosed with brain cancer and given just 165 days to live. As poignant and inspiring as Randy Pauschamp;#8217;s The Last Lecture, it is the story of the courage of a truly remarkable little girl who accomplished so much in so little timeamp;#8212;and of her parentsamp;#8217; love and dedication to their child and their family. New York Times bestselling author James Patterson was profoundly moved by Elenaamp;#8217;s beautiful life and Notes Left Behind, calling it, amp;#8220;a stunning story that teaches us how precious children, family, and life are, and that the sacrifices we make are worth it. I wonamp;#8217;t forget the Desserich family, and neither will you.amp;#8221;
