Synopsis
CC seems to have it all: counseling work she loves, a beautiful home in Maine, and a brand new sporty Cadillac for her milestone birthday. What she doesn't have is her breasts, lost to cancer. Grateful to have her life spared, CC nonetheless wonders if she should get back into the dating game. What man would want a breast-free chick?
Serendipitously, her path crosses that of Mitch Levy, her first love and high school sweetheart. After several decades and despite being nearly 1,000 miles apart, they begin a distance relationship, with emails flying through cyberspace at warp speed.
As they catch up on where life has taken them, both CC and Mitch come to realize there are embers of their young love still glowing. Both have been married and divorced, with a couple of kids, now grown and flown. It isn't long before they begin to plan a romantic rendezvous, and, as they do, CC gathers all her courage and tells Mitch about her cancer experience and the new "shape" of her body, as well as other limitations life has placed on her. Mitch claims to accept, love and lust for her, nonetheless. Still, there are at least 100 reasons to worry about how this will go, when they are finally together. Will they be able to pick up where they left off or will their paths diverge?
