This book is about a dumb nut. (Not really!)

Lavender started off life with a huge house and a wonderful sister named Lilly. She went to a wonderful high school and she got an academic scholarship to the University of Virginia. But in her sophomore year, things go down hill, when Lavender gets diagnosed with leukemia, a rare blood cancer. Lavender knows that she won't survive, but she won't go down without a fight.
