Grace Cogan is a girl from Weston, Missouri. Her favourite saying is "I cannot live without books." For Grace, this is the truth.
Grace was born with a serious illness. It affects her skin(皮肤), eyes, and kidneys. Doctors once told her parents she might not live long. Luckily, she survived. However, her life has been very difficult. Over these years, she has had 22 operations(手术) and many hospital visits. Reading has kept her calm during long waits and car rides. "I always have a book with me," she said.
When Grace was little, her mother read stories to her. And her father offered her historical novels. Even with serious eye problems, Grace read by herself, with her nose nearly touching the page. That was how she could see most clearly. Her aunt said, "She was so curious to know how things work."
Grace's family lives in an old farmhouse that has been home to five generations(代) of her father's family. This inspired Grace to write her own book about its history. Although she couldn't attend school, her great interest in history helped her win fifth place in a national history competition(竞赛).
Grace's grandma was not surprised by the news. "She never gave up," she said. "We knew she would do something great." Grace's private teacher felt the same way, saying, "The time with Grace has been an amazing journey. I look forward to seeing her future."
Grace hopes to become a history writer one day. Her love for reading has inspired many people around her.
