Don't Die, My Love
256 pages · First published 1995
Julie Ellis and Luke Muldenhower are teenagers deeply in love and planning a future together when Luke is diagnosed with cancer. Treatment turns ordinary high-school concerns into questions about time, fear, family, and whether love can remain hopeful when the outcome is uncertain. Julie wants to support Luke without allowing illness to erase the relationship they had before the diagnosis. Lurlene McDaniel’s YA novel approaches terminal illness through an emotionally direct romance centered on devotion, grief, and the painful difference between refusing to give up on someone and being able to save them.
