(2) YA Rose's mom has advanced Huntington's disease. Caleb's mom and sisters have sickle cell disease. The teens meet at a Walk for Rare Genes fundraiser. Rose struggles with indecision about whether to be tested for the Huntington's gene, and what the results might mean for her future plans: college, a dance career, a relationship. Rose's realistically complex anger and grief add poignancy.
