Following Joey Home Hardcover

Following Joey Home is a mother's diary of the three weeks immediately preceeding her teenage son's death from cystic fibrosis, and then his death itself. This book is incredible ... and awful.
The first time I read it, I could not stop crying for a week. It will cut your heart out and leave you bleeding, wishing you could find a cure for cystic fibrosis and all the other terminal illnesses that claim the lives of innocent children, or at least wishing you could bring Joey back.
