Lady Sunflower is an achingly poignant collection written by Sierra Shuck-sparer when she found herself grappling with the unimaginable: high-risk medulloblastoma.
This collection is a radiant call to raise awareness about pediatric cancer and a moving glimpse into Sierra\'s humorous, heartbreaking, and sanguine view of the world around her..
Sierra chronicled her journey through diagnosis, relapses, and treatment stages using a remarkable blend of heart-rending poetry, introspective essays and songs, zines, and curated playlists.
She faced relentless treatments and surgeries all while trying to retain her identity as a teenager heading into her college years.
At the age of fifteen, Sierra was thrust into her harrowing battle against Gertrude (the name she gave her cancer).
