Violet Moore is rusting away. Living her life through a pair of oxygen tubes, she spends her days writing secret poetry and watching the winter sun quit at 4:00 PM. She’s resigned to being an observer until Leo walks in. Leo doesn’t treat her like she’s made of glass. He sees the girl behind the metal shadow of her tank. "The Waiting Room" is a raw, emotional look at chronic illness, the power of a black hoodie, and the unexpected connections that make breathing a little easier.
