review 1: A poignant and moving memoir from a family coming to terms with the sudden loss of their 13-year-old daughter, Taylor, and how they found a way to a "new normal". The memoir is told from both parents' points of view. They decided to donate their daughter's organs, and found comfort after meeting four of the five recipients (whose stories are also told in this memoir). Taylor's parents also founded the Taylor's Gift Foundation to educate the public about organ donation and to encourage more people to sign up to be donors. I became interested in Taylor's story two years ago after randomly discovering an interview her parents did about the Taylor's Gift Foundation on a local news site. From there, I found Taylor's YouTube channel, where she had made tons of videos with her fr... moreiends and family members. I just happened to visit the Foundation's website yesterday and saw that her parents had written a book. Immediately bought it for my Kindle and finished it in a day. It's a hard book to read, and sad, but ends on a note of hope and inspiration.
review 2: Taylor's gift was an amazing book about a young girl who's life got taken away too fast. She was skiing and she lost control. She ran into a forest and hit a tree at full speed. She was still breathing, though. She was rushed to the hospital and then that's when she was put on life support. Nobody knew if she was coming back or not. She eventually never did and had to be taken off of life support. Her parents were devastated and heartbroken. Their child had just died from a silly mistake. Then, an important question was asked. Would they like to donate Taylor's organs? They were disgusted by the thought of them having to decide what to do with their dead daughter's body. They were supposed to die before her; she wasn't supposed to die before them. After a while of thinking, they decided to do the right thing and donate Taylor's organs. They knew it would change some families' lives. Her donation later inspired others to donate their organs and it eventually turned into an organization called Taylor's Gift. It has inspired thousands of people donate their lorgans and has helped even more! less
