Natural Killer: A Memoir
Harriet Alida Lye explores how, at just fifteen years old, she was diagnosed with a form of leukemia called 'Natural Killer,' named 'the rarest and worst malignancy.' The average survival time of patients with this diagnosis is fifty-eight days. There are no known survivors. There were no known survivors . . .
With probing lyricism and searing honesty, Natural Killer explores what it's like to live with a life-threatening illness and survive it, what it means for a body to turn against itself and destruct from within, as well as what it takes to regain trust in a body that has committed the ultimate betrayal.
