And when her sweetheart isn't the sexiest person alive, at least he's a warm body to get back to. Then he announces he's departing. But that reports is barely a blip compared to what Natalie's doctor says her: She has breast malignancy. And she can't get rid of it by only being headstrong. Now the life Natalie must change is her own. All her energy, what little of computer she has left, must get into saving herself from a merciless disease. So when she's not laying on the couch recovering from her treatments and indulging in a interested addiction to The Price Is Right, she realizes it's time to have a hard look at her choices. She starts by searching for the five loves-of-her-life to evaluate what went incorrect. On the way, she questions her romantic relationships with her friends, her parents, her colleagues, the main one who got away, and, most important, with herself: How come she so active moving through life that she never prevents to adopt it? As Natalie sleuths out the answers to these questions, her voyage of self-discovery calls for her down new paths and unexplored places. And she learns that sometimes when life reaches its most unforeseen, it isn't what you lose which makes you who you are . . . it's what you get.
