YOU DON'T KNOW ME, BUT I KNOW ABOUT YOU ... I CAN'T MAKE YOU LIVE LONGER, I CAN'T STOP YOU FROM HURTING. BUT I CAN GIVE YOU ONE WISH, AS SOMEONE DID FOR ME.

Being a candy striper isn't Megan Charnell's idea of an exciting summer, but she's volunteered and can't get out of it. Megan's got her own problems to deal with, but when she meets Donovan Jacoby, she finds herself getting involved in his life.

Donovan shares with Megan his secret that an anonymous benefactor has granted him one last wish and that he needs Megan's help. The money can't buy a compatible transplant, but it can allow Donovan to give his mother and little brother something he feels he owes them. Can Megan help make his dream come true?
