About
Meet Elodie Harrington, college student and medical anomaly. From chicken pox to tuberculosis, Elodie suffers such a frequent barrage of illnesses that she moves into the Brown University infirmary. When charismatic Chess Hunter enters the infirmary with two smashed knees, he and Elodie begin an intense affair-but Chess is only a visitor to Elodie's perpetual state of medical siege. As he heals, he moves back to his former life. But Elodie heads in the other direction and begins to experience strange visions. When Professor Mark Kirschling, MD, gets wind of Elodie, he's convinced he can make his professional mark by cracking her case. But he's entirely unprepared for what he's about to encounter.

"Like the Red Panda succeeds because it transcends cliché . . . By artfully evoking the despair, even the hopelessness, of such an endearing character, Seigel reaffirms our own private hope that maybe, after all, life does have meaning."
