When Carolyn and her ex-husband, Donald, split, he was granted full custody of their daughter, Cassie, who was three years old at the time. Following the divorce, Carolyn was able to stay in touch with Cassie until she turned 12, when all communication abruptly ceased. After ten years of unanswered letters and disconnected phone numbers, Carolyn was convinced she was never going to see her daughter again. Today, Carolyn is undergoing chemotherapy for acute lymphocytic leukemia. She wants to see her daughter again and also alert her about this hereditary disease.
