Connor Cameron is the daughter of Evelyn and Harry. She grows up between their apartments in New York City. In her early teenage years, she begins to withdraw from her parents, particularly Evelyn, and when Harry dies, Connor’s behavior spins out of control: when she’s 14, Evelyn finds her having a threesome with two friends, and an article in a tabloid notes her tendency to frequent clubs around the city and take drugs. After moving to Spain to live with Evelyn, Celia, and Robert, Connor warms to her mother again, focuses on academic work, and gains admission to an Ivy League school. Though she begins a career in finance, she realizes she’s happier as a teacher. Connor’s illness and death due to breast cancer, along with Evelyn’s matching diagnosis, motivate Evelyn to donate to breast cancer research.

Quotes
Robert always claimed that he married me because he would do anything for Celia. But I think he did it, in at least some small part, because it gave him a chance to have a family. He was never going to settle down with one woman. And Spanish women proved to be just as enchanted by him as American ones had been. But this system, this family, was one he could be a part of, and I think he knew that when he signed up.
