Description: In the five years since Willow O'Keefe was born with a rare congenital disorder, her parents have endured sleepless nights, mounting medical bills, and the pitying stares of strangers. A whip-smart child, kind, brave, and an unexpectedly deep source of wisdom, she is beloved by her family--but the burden of her care has strained them to the limit. And when her mother seeks to do Willow justice, alienating those closest to her in the process, she must confront the most serious question of all: What constitutes a valuable life?
