Sierra chronicled her journey through diagnosis, relapses, and treatment stages using a . . . blend of heart-rending poetry, introspective essays and songs, zines, and curated playlists. This collection is a . . . call to raise awareness about pediatric cancer and a . . . glimpse into Sierra's humorous, heartbreaking, and sanguine view of the world around her"--Provided by publisher.
