Because She's My Friend.
Read All About It!
During the summer of her fifteenth birthday, Teri D’Angelo meets Valerie Ross. Valerie is a patient at the hospital where her paralyzed leg is being treated. The meeting develops into a difficult and unusual friendship between the two girls -- one quiet and well-behaved and the other outspoken and spoiled. When Teri discovers Valerie’s serious depression about her disability, she struggles with decisions about how she can help and you may wonder why she should even bother.
