The lives of the Chrysalis quartet members-Christine, Crystal, Alice, and Lisa-continue to be intertwined with worry about failing mothers and troubles of the younger generation, issues with childbirth, and new relationships with representatives of other cultures and nations. Problematic social and cultural issues create tension, yet form strong ties through a web of interlacing fates and mutual problem-solving on such questions as... What should Christine's gay brother Magnus do about his wish to be a parent? Has Lisa's experience with Doctors Without Borders been worth the disturbance for her peace of mind? How can everyone be supportive of Stephanie, a pregnant teen? What will they do about Kaisa, Alice's elderly mother, who insists her new neighbor is a murderer?
