Abstract

Alice Anane is the member of a large, wealthy family that collectively operates a multi-pronged family business in Israel. Upon discovering partway into her pregnancy that the rapidly degenerative brain disease her father succumbed to now threatens her and potentially every member of her family, she must decide how to incorporate a comprehensive plan for handling genetic disease into her family’s charter. Each aspect of the document must be carefully weighed, as the differing priorities must somehow come together into a system that works. With an uncertain clock ticking in the background, can she ensure that the measure passes with enough votes among her siblings and mother? Will she be able to ensure a lasting legacy for the family and its businesses that touch so many lives?
