Pink Clay

With champagne and caviar, twenty-five-year-old Emily glitters through society, her life a kaleidoscope of luxury afforded to her by birthright as a coffee company heiress. But beneath the Hermès, lurks a gnawing emptiness, one mirrored in the mammogram that shatters her perfect world.

Scrambling to make ends meet, twenty-seven-year-old Sarah knows struggle like the worn groves in her clay-stained sneakers. A single mother, balancing a side-hustle as a ceramic artist and a son’s laughter, she never expected the blow that would leave them both reeling—a diagnosis they can’t afford to face.

Thrown together by fate, or a shared oncology ward, their backgrounds couldn’t be more different. Yet, in the stark reality of chemo cocktails and stolen tears, a bond blossoms. Emily and Sarah navigate the labyrinth of treatment while being 20-something and trying to find their place in the little piece of world they call life.

Will this unlikely friendship survive? Will they?

This is a story of unexpected connections, of laughter in the face of fear, and the transformative power of friendship. It is a testament to the fact that sometimes, the greatest treasures are found not in material wealth, but in the shared grit and grace of coming together.
