Out of control - that's how Lacey Duval feels in almost every aspect of her life. There's nothing she can do about her parents divorce, there's nothing she can do about the death of her young friend, there's nothing she can do about having diabetes - that's what Lacey believes.
After a special summer at Jenny House, Lacey is determined to put her problems behind her. When she returns to high school, she is driven to become a part of the in crowd and win the attention of gorgeous Todd Larson. But Lacey thinks fitting in means losing weight and hiding her diabetes. She starts skipping means and experimenting with her medication - sometimes ignoring it all together.
Her friends from the summer caution her to face her problems before catastrophe strikes. Is it too late to stop the destructive process Lacey has set in motion?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I was born in Philadelphia PA, grew up (mostly) in Hialeah FL, graduated from the University of South Florida, Tampa FL (go Bulls!) and currently live in Chattanooga TN---I'm an American citizen by birth, and Southern by the grace of God.

I have a brother, three years younger, married, and mathematically gifted. I am totally without math skills.

The books I write, the topics and subject matter, grew out of my firstborn son's diagnosis of diabetes at age 3.

Infinite reward that comes to me from my work.... when a grown reader lets me know that reading my books inspired her to seek a profession that helps others. I have wonderful letters saying, "Today I graduated from nursing/medical school."

Now that's a gift of joy!

Lacey feels her life is out of control, but there is one thing she can control. this story deals with not only having to realy on medicine (which i totally understand), but it is also about social acceptence while trying to hide one's imperfections.

Lulene McDaniel wrote this beautifully. I've read this book over two million times, and it written beautifully (plus the information helped me get a 'B' on a paper on diabeties)

If you want to now about diabeties and social accepentance read this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Favorite McDaniel Character
Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2004
I started reading Lurlene McDaniel book about 11 years ago, and dispite the younger reading level, I enjoy the depths of most of her characters in her books. None more than Lacey Duvall, the stuck up teen at Jenny House in Please Don't Die to the only person that could reach the teen terror in Reach for Tomorrow. Lacey is my favorite because of the complexity and the realism in her character. All the Days of Her Life gives the readers an insight into Lacey's decisions. I've read many of the reviews which have stated the want to shake the character back into reality but I do understand the urge to be a certain way. Not only is Lacey dealing with the everyday urges to fit into the "in-crowd" in high school but there's two different aspects of her life that separates her from a much wanted normalicy- her parents divorce and her diabetes. There's also a search for control which most teenagers deal with as well.

Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 1998
I read my 1st Lurlene McDaniel book (6 months to live) in 4th grade. I have been hooked since then. All the days of her life tells about a girl named Lacy who just wants to be normal and fit in. Instead of accepting her diabetes, she tries to ignore it and she ends up very sick. I love all books by Lurlene McDaniel and hope that she will continue writing them for a loooooong time.

After a special summer at Jenny House, Lacey is determined to put her problems behind her. When she returns to high school, she is driven to become a part of the popular crowd and win the attention of gorgeous Todd Larson. But Lacey thinks fitting in with the popular kids means losing weight and hiding her diabetes. She starts juggling with her insulin shots or even skipping it. Finding out what happens next was very exciting. Indeed, this is a great book to read.
