Regine Stokke began to blog about her day-to-day life shortly after she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukemia in 2008. Regine’s stated purpose with her posts was to give people a sense of “what it’s like to live with” such a serious illness, and her blog became an almost instant classic. From being the kind of teenager who sulks when she doesn’t get a private room at the hospital, Regine gradually learns to face up to the terrifying implications of her disease, and develops a deep appreciation for life, for art, and for all of the people who surround and support her. Regine’s Book is Regine’s story as we encounter it on her blog, supplemented with previously unpublished texts, a selection of photos, comments from her readers, and remembrances from those closest to her. Regine’s honesty, bravery, and uncompromising nature are an inspiration. Through her eyes, readers will discover a more vivid world—and a new appreciation for life, art, and the power of the human spirit.
