Cara has been sick her whole life. She can't remember her dad, she lives with her mom and doesn't see any other family. They move around a lot and she sees a lot of doctors. She doesn't really have a diagnosis. When she starts her freshman year and is only present for 18 out of 45 days, the assistant principal gets involved with her attendance. Her mother comes unglued, how dare he! Cara wants to go to school, but just doesn't feel well. As she tries her best to go to school, and prepare for semester exams, she ends up fainting and in the hospital. Her mother quickly takes her out and finds a new doctor, Dr. Eric. As Cara makes a friend in her peer tutor, she comes to realize something is not right with her mom, medicines, and that she also finds her grandparents.
Kind of obvious to me what was going on early on in the book. It was an okay book, but I would say it would be geared more for high school and up just based on the topic.
