Based on the true story of , that was made into a memorable Television movie.--Fr.Cvr
A young woman, Jacquelyn M. Helton, died in 1971 of a rare form of cancer. Osteosarcoma (OS), or osteogenic sarcoma (OGS) (or simply, bone cancer) is a cancerous tumor in a bone. The final 18 months of her life she kept a tape recorded diary as a legacy for her young daughter.
Inspired by this remarkable girl's story, and based closely on her diary, Universal Studios produced a stunning motion picture which will be remembered as an outstanding television event of 1973. It received rave reviews, and the New York Times called it "One of the Year's Best Specials."
Norma Klein's novel has been written from the actual diary and from Carol Sobieski's script of this motion picture. Pg 2 of July 1982 edition
