In the novel, Bobby Tom Hargrove is a successful and successful-looking advertising executive who has a good marriage and a good career. Everything is going well for him, and then one day he and his wife Gracie (who has been diagnosed with cancer) discover that she has cancer, too. They fight the disease together, and they continue to fight through all its ups and downs.

But at some point, they reach a point where they accept it: They no longer try to fight or understand why they get sick. The cancer wins (sometime around page 300 of the book). It’s an important moment in the story: A moment when we realize that we’re not going to beat what we face.
