When she just graduated from Princeton, the 22-year-old Suleika was full of expectations for life. Like ordinary young people, she was worried about how to face the problems after entering society: the new environment, her own future, her love life... What she didn't expect was that her destiny changed from a small itch - she fell ill, and after a series of diagnoses, she finally accepted the fact that she had cancer. She began a devastating five-year battle with cancer. At the same time, she began to contribute to the New York Times and started a column about her experience, "Life, Interrupted." The column had a huge impact across the United States, and she received countless letters from readers of all types. Five years later, Suleka's disease improved amazingly. However, after she unexpectedly regained her life, the young woman felt another kind of confusion and pain. Returning to a normal life was not as easy and simple as she imagined. In order to regain a true new life, she took her pet dog on a 100-day journey around the United States to visit the readers who had opened their hearts to her.
