Narrated by: Julie McKay

What is the toughest request anyone can be asked to fulfill?

Travis Morrison is a champion diver and one of the most popular kids at school. On the first day of summer vacation, while boating on the lake with his friends, Travis attempts a silly stunt dive that goes wrong. He fears he has broken his leg. Instead, his trip to the hospital reveals he has a rare form of cancer, and to save him, the doctors tell his parents they must amputate. In an instant, Travis’s life and the lives of everyone around him are forever changed.

Travis is determined that he and only he should decide the course of his life. He has a plan, but he can’t carry it out alone. Will he convince one of his friends to fulfill his most important request?

Lurlene McDaniel tackles a controversial subject, probing the issues of personal choice and quality of life.

Travis’ death plan and how he actually went out.

10/10 execution. The ending had me SHOCKED and crying like a baby. I genuinely thought he would go out by drowning his own way but NO!! Bro had a whole entire seizure, put in vegetation, but it wasn’t Cooper that helped. Emily did—flawlessly. The plot, the story, EVERYTHING had me screaming at the book. I have never read a book where a character actually dies against their will in this type of way. Thank you, McDaniel. This book is incredibly tear bringing.
