Lily is dying before she's had the chance to live. After turning twelve, she is diagnosed with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma. There is no cure. With less than a five percent survival rate, hope is all but lost. The treatment can only extend her life, but at what cost? Being a normal teenager is impossible when Lily spends more time in the hospital than she does at school.As the weeks progress, her family seems to be crumbling under pressure. When her father loses his job and develops a drinking problem, her mother manages to put on a brave face. Still, Lily knows something is wrong, and for once, her perfect family doesn't seem so perfect. Lily suspected that her father was struggling, but she never realized how much until her father is accused of murder.Lily's Cure is a story about what happens when humans are pushed past their breaking point, and how powerful hope really is. The story explores our deepest fears of dying and not being accepted. Is saving someone worth stealing for? Killing for? Lily's Cure paints the realistic picture of a family that is forced to answer these questions as well as the biggest question of all: Will they find a cure?
