From the back cover

Zoey, a college student with severe chronic anemia, is ordered by her mother, Dean Mercer, to take part in the campus blood drive so the Dean can be seen leading by example. When Zoey nearly faints at the hundred-milliliter mark, the phlebotomist Stacy dismisses her as a drama queen and forces her to keep donating. Her mother, watching with crossed arms, tells her to stay in the chair until she hits four hundred, even if it kills her.

Zoey collapses and dies, her soul drifting above the room. No one notices. Stacy jabs the needle into her arm again and again, then accuses the dead girl of pushing her and wasting the blood. Dean Mercer believes Stacy, hugs her, and orders that the blood still be drawn from Zoey's other arm to see how long she can keep up the act, while students call Zoey entitled. Only when the University President arrives does anyone ask if an ambulance is needed.

Inside the book Opening excerpt

Mom, I’m sorry. I really wasn't lying this time. I just couldn't hold on anymore.

Despite knowing I suffered from severe chronic anemia, my mother had insisted I participate in the university’s campus-wide blood drive. She didn't want the "optics" of her own daughter sitting out while she, the Dean of Students, presided over the event. She called it "leading by example."

At the 100-milliliter mark, the world began to tilt. My vision went grainy, like an old television losing its signal.
