The story begins with Roxy Adams striking a friendship with Elaine, Ifeoma, and Beatrice during the Chicago’s mayoral election. Their friendship culminated in a vacation to Egypt. Roxy, the daughter of an industrialist father whose wife has a genetic link to cancer, fell in love with James Ugo, a scientist, en route to Egypt. A romantic relationship developed between James and Roxy that continued after the end of the Egyptian vacation. Her relationship with James headed towards marriage. The interests and professional ties of Roxy, an attorney, and her friends provided a forum for an extensive discussion of breast cancer. The scientist and medical doctors elaborated on most aspects of the cancer, possible risk factors, including oral contraceptives and hormone based therapies. When Roxy was suddenly diagnosed with breast cancer, her curiosity about the origin and progress of breast cancer expanded the conversation to include considerations of stem cell research and genetic influences. The diagnosis exposed the fragility of the love between Roxy and James. The emotional turmoil as a result of the diagnosis compounded by potential infidelity by James caused Roxy to have an accident. On the other hand, Denise who suffered a stroke as a consequence of HRT use faced uncertainty in her proposed marriage to her long term fiancé, Charles.
