Haley McGuire and Clarkson Kent are five years old when Clark moves into the house next door. From that first meeting, their friendship grows into a meaningful love. Committed fully to one another, they enter their teenage years with plans for a future together. Clark is a top student and leading athlete, Haley a scholar and track star. He hopes to go into medicine, and she, into law. But no one can predict the aggressive cancer that strikes Haley, nor can anyone expect young Clark to remain at her side. But stay he does, and plans a seventeenth birthday surprise the likes of which their town has never seen. With the help of school and friends, Clark is determined to make this a birthday to remember...even if it proves to be Haley's last. Brenda Randazzo Manley 's A Dream Come True is an inspiration for every teenager. Parents must read this, too, lest they forget how caring and loving their children can be, when given the chance.
