Teenager Julie's life changes forever when her high-school sweetheart Luke is diagnosed with leukemia. Together they try to make the best of things, intent on carrying out a dream vacation to Canada.

Julie Ellis and Luke Muldenhower are high-schoolers in love and their lives are going great. Luke is going to get a scholarship for football and Julie is an honor student. Suddenly, their perfect world comes tumbling down around them. Based on the book "Don't Die, My Love" by Lurlene McDaniel.—Genna Reeves <[email protected]>

Luke Muldenhower, a fine student and the captain of a high-school football team, is in true love with Julie Ellis, daughter of wealthy parents who hoped even better for her but must admit he's swell. Alas, an apparently pointless oncologist's examination proves that Luke has a rare cancer. After months of torturous chemotherapy, with loyal support from Julie and their parents he can return to his student life, and is welcomed like a hero. Just when everything seems back on track, even an athletic scholarship, he has a relapse and is diagnosed with another cancer, requiring radiation.—KGF Vissers
