Lydia Slaby was 33 years old and had everything she believed would make
her happy: three fancy private school degrees, a successful husband who
was in the inner circles of Barack Obama's presidential campaign, a
high-paying job as an attorney--even an enviable yoga practice. But
under the surface Lydia's life was in free fall. Her new marriage was
one argument after another, she had a job she never wanted, and for some
reason she had begun to rapidly lose weight, eventually turning a
strange shade of yellowish-green. When she made a doctor's appointment
to talk about the toll of extreme stress, she was instead admitted with
a diagnosis of lymphoma. As a cancer survivor, Lydia tries to piece back
together her marriage, her career, and her own worth. It's an imperfect
rebirth, but perfection is something she must abandon if she is to find
a new, calm, healthy life.
