As a teenager, Harriet Alida Lye was diagnosed with two strains of leukemia that had never before been seen in combination. This book is told in narrative, snapshots, journal entries from her mother and father, and blog updates posted for friends and family. Raw, lyrical, and profoundly moving, Harriet explores what it's like to live with illness, to survive it; what it means for your body to turn against itself, self-destructing from within; and how to reconcile that knowledge with the reality of creating a life.
