Ephemeral

Imogene Baker was diagnosed with leukemia at the tender age of seven. Now, ten years later, she's still battling against the parasite living within her. Through several remissions and relapses, the cancer continues to grow. Perpetual death and heartbreak have consumed Gene's teenage years as loved ones come in and out of her life. But then she meets Zeke, another patient whose good looks and humorous charm threaten to break that cycle and give her a taste of a normal life. Imogene latches on and basks in the simplicity being a kid, even if it only lasts for a little while.
