Shes had to be: when Jacobs father, Dave, found out Karen was pregnant and made it clear that fatherhood wasnt in his plans, Karen walked out of the relationship, never telling Dave her intention was to raise their child alone. But now Jake is asking to meet his dad, and with good reason: Karen is dying. When she finally calls her ex, shes shocked to find Dave ecstatic about the son he never knew he had. First, he cant meet Jake fast enough, and then he cant seem to leave him alone. Karen quickly grows anxious as she watches Dave insinuate himself into Jakes life just as her own strength and hold on Jake grow more tenuous. As she struggles to play out her last days in the "right" way for Jake, Karen wrestles with the knowledge that the only thing she cannot bring herself to do for her son--let his father become a permanent part of his life--is the thing he needs from her the most.
