In another flashback, Chen discovers that she is pregnant with her boyfriend Jonathan's baby (the two broke up just before Chen found out the news). Eventually, running out of money and being exceptionally unfulfilled, Chen decides to take a job at a company that produces high-quality versions of the Bible with unique design variations. In fact, she went to New York City after her parents’ death (her parents left her a sizeable inheritance which she used to drift through life). But Chen doesn't stay in Salt Lake City for very long. Chen and her parents immigrated from China to Salt Lake City, Utah in her youth as her parents sought a better life for everyone. The novel also features flashbacks of Chen's life. At the start of the novel, Ma lets readers know that society has collapsed as a result of the Shen Fever, a disease (turned pandemic) that makes those infected with it repeat routines without thought until they eventually die. The start of Severance introduces readers to Candace Chen, the main character and protagonist of the novel.
