One Lurlene McDaniel book, and I was DONE. Some girl's sister had leukemia (which narrows the book down to, oh... everything she ever wrote). I only remember one scene - the sister had a nosebleed in the middle of the night and she was covered with blood. Every nosebleed I ever got after that, I was convinced I was dying.

Diabetes AND leukemia... I was in bad shape.
