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 seventeen-year-old 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 her help. The money can't buy a compatible transplant, but it can allow Donovan to give his mother and younger brother something he feels he owes them. Can Megan orchestrate a plan to make his dream come true?
