August 07, 2018 YOLO?
You only live once … unless you're Leilani, because Leilani has died five times. FIVE! She was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy when she was 13 years old after experiencing sudden cardiac death.
Hearts don’t last forever. Leilani’s heart was only prepared to last about 24 years. So Leilani got a new one. And that new heart? Well, it didn’t work so well either.

June 26, 2018 The Stories We Tell
The stories we hear about our parents and grandparents are often an intergenerational game of telephone. Even the ones we think we know by heart, fact for fact, evolve as they're told and retold.
Ka came to us with her father's incredible story of heroics and bravery. And his version of events IS incredible and heroic and brave. It's just ... not the story that Ka remembers. And this makes her start to question everything.
