Handle With Care

The novel, Handle With Care, written by Jodi Picoult, is about a young girl named Willow, who suffers with brittle bone syndrome, which prevents her from living a normal life. Willow’s bones break on a normal basis and she always has a cast on at least one part of her body. Her family struggles with the medical payments and the constant worrying that something terrible might happen to their daughter or sister. By reading this novel, I now appreciate my life. I used to always think that my life was horrible and meaningless but after reading Handle With Care, I realized that there are so many people out there that are struggling through something a lot worse than me. I feel so pathetic that I complained about the smallest things that didn’t even matter. My little problems don't even compare to the horrible and tragic events that people are going through right now.  I now see life in a completely different way.  I am grateful for what I have and will always remember to thank everybody who has made my life perfect the way it is.
