Christine's mom had movie star looks, and her dad did as well. They met by chance and fell deeply in love at a young age. Despite the timing, they decided to have Christine. The road was rough, but her dad's endless ambition made their lives comfortable rather quickly. However, tragedy struck when Christine's grandparents both died.
This is a story of a mom who was willing to give up her career ambitions and raise a daughter who always felt in the shadow. Christine's mom had lost both her parents and her sister. Then her own daughter, Christine, was hit with a mysterious illness that would be prevalent for many years, later causing Christine to lose her job due to the awkward way the disease takes over the body. Was the cause Agent Orange, PCBs from the trash dump near their New Jersey home, or was it the stress of many precipitating events?
