And Urge

At 17 Maggie thought coming out was the hardest thing she'd have to do; two weeks later she was diagnosed with cancer. Maggie watches a cringeworthy, L Word-esque, lesbian drama from her hospital bed - she is receiving chemo. Her mother, Debra, sits nearby on her laptop. This is their norm now. On the verge of turning 18 and fresh out of the closet Maggie urges for her body. But not just any body. A healthy body. An independent body. A body that reaches out - which is tough from the confines of a children's hospital. (Based on a true story)
