Jubilee

A family that my family has known and been close to for years lost a child years ago to leukemia. The child's name was Paige and she was only 8 years old when she died. She left behind her mother, her father and her younger sister Alexandra. Paige's death was very hard on her family, as expected it would be. For Paige's mother it was especially hard and she had trouble finding ways to cope with her pain. Paige's mother, Ellen decided to take on writing as a way to help her get what she was feeling out on paper instead of keeping it all built up inside. What started off as writing for therapy soon became Ellen's career. She wrote a children's book titled Jubille, Jubille was a book about what Ellen believed heaven to be like and what she imagined Paige would be doing there. This is such an amazing book with so much creativity involved. I'm 22 years old and still enjoy reading it! Both the creative writing and pictures in it are incredible! I would recommend it to all. Above is a picture of Jubille.
