Symptoms of a Heartbreak

Most 16-year-olds cause at least some damage on their path to adulthood. But Saira Sehgal has vowed to first do no harm. A girl genius, shes the youngest MD in Americaand she hasnt picked an easy specialty: Shes working on the cancer ward.

Sairas always been good at getting what she wants, but shes new to adult challengeslike getting out from under the thumb of her doting mother, who works at the same hospital; like proving herself to coworkers who dont take her seriously; and crushing on a cute boy who happens to have stage-two leukemia.

Turns out heartbreak is one ailment Saira still doesnt know how to treat.
