Keep Your Hair On

Elizabeth Vercoe

This is a beautifully crafted story which delves into the issues associated with cancer. As Jess goes through her journey of growing up, we watch her deal with the additional trials and tribulations of chemotherapy; constantly feeling sick and losing her hair, not to mention trying to deal with the fact that people treat her differently after learning she is suffering from cancer, including her best friends. We watch Jess struggle with the decision of whether or not to tell people about her illness, particularly Dylan. How will he react once he finds out Jess has cancer?
