Kat Knightly has it all: a handsome and successful husband, Jordan; their son, Jay, soon to graduate from college; and a beautiful home. But her comfortable life changes abruptly when she faces a devastating breast cancer diagnosis, and Jordan lets her know he will not be there to support her. For the first time ever, Kat must cope with finding a job and an apartment. When the move turns up evidence that her marriage was built on a lie, she is nearly overwhelmed.
     Kat’s life-threatening illness and impending divorce has made her realize that while she has many acquaintances, she has few true friends in whom she can confide her fears and doubts about the future. Then, one by one, new friends come into her life: three women who have survived the same disease, and one man who sees beyond the sickness to a brave and beautiful woman. With their help, Kat discovers strengths she did not know she possessed.
     Jordan, too, sees a new Kat and begins to regret his impulsive action. When he asks if they can start over, she must choose between returning to her former, pampered life or embracing her new-found independence—and the possibility of a new romance.
