Paula Journal 3

At this point, Allende is no longer writing to her daughter because Paula's situation will not get better and she will never be able to read the letter by her. Paula will not be able to read because her brain is severely damaged. On the outside, Paula's body is healthy, but her insides have deteriorated. Paula's mother, Allende, is giving up on the painful tests that Paula has had to endure. She will help Paula so that her spirit will go in peace. .

I have really enjoyed this memoir because Allende is so descriptive in her writing. I feel like I am her character, empathizing with her situation. I feel that this book will end tragically, but I would prefer for it not to end that way.
