The Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling
"Before my father died, he'd watch Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in his hospital bed. After he passed away from cancer, reading the Harry Potter books and is what helped keep me sane. This book series is one of the last attachments I have to my father. Harry Potter saved me more than once, and I can’t thank J.K. Rowling enough."

"The Perks of Being a Wallflower doesn't make everything magically better, but it's a reminder that someone out there understands me. I read it whenever I feel like I'm going down a dark road."
