To everyone around Yasmin, she was radiant, bubbly and probably talks too much. When she married a brilliant neurosurgeon, it seemed like the beginning of a perfect story: the healer and the girl who brought light into every room. But behind the scenes their marriage was an alliance at first. For him, to fulfill his father's death wish. For Yasmin it was to fulfill her mother's wish but also to fulfill her wish of getting married before time runs out for her. The problem? Her husband didn't know that behind her mischievous eyes and loud laughter, she carried a truth she could never bring herself to tell him; she was dying of cancer.
What happens when he, a man who has spent his life saving others, must confront the one life he was never given the chance to fight for.
While Yasmin was choosing love in the face of death, her best friend, Hamida is quietly suffocating in a life that looked perfect on paper; safe but loveless, longing for a spark she's never felt.
Both women are forced to confront the choices they've made. One built on a lie to preserve love, the other settling for anything but it.
