A failed startup, a company swallowed by capital, and a brother's betrayal. One brother, suffering from cancer, wrote code between chemotherapy sessions and said, “I'm afraid I won't make it in time.” Another was suspended and investigated. “I don't want the shares. I'll stick with you for the rest of my life.”
And then there was the woman who said, “If there is another life, I want to meet you with a clean slate.” In the end, she opened a flower shop called “Chasing the Light.”
For twenty-six years, they chased the light, and nearly lost one another along the way.
