Kathryn Arjomand’s daughter is Minou Arjomand. The bond between Minou and Kathryn is a special and uncommon one that frequently has a significant impact on how people’s lives turn out. They are incredibly, completely in love with each other. Their relationship is built on this love, which can offer stability and support for the rest of their lives.
As her daughter Minou’s wedding draws closer, Kathryn is resolved to live to see her child get married. After suffering from Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS) for years, Kathryn is now paralyzed and in need of round-the-clock care. She uses an eye-tracking, speech-generating computer to communicate, though it can occasionally be difficult to be “heard.”
If her mind were intact and she chose mechanical breathing, she could live like this forever. But the toxic way Kathryn’s family handles the situation exacerbates their tense relationship. It’s hard to find and keep committed nurses and aides, and her husband, Sad, is resentful and estranged.
Living in their New York City apartment with Kathryn and Sad, her grown son Noah finds it difficult to manage his schoolwork and his mother’s emotions. Despite the strain and difficulties, Kathryn manages her illness and questions her decision-making.
