It is the magnetizing gaze that sends Emma spinning into a life-changing experience in which she becomes grudgingly embroiled. The changes in her body. The ever-increasing presence in her stomach. The struggle to contain emotion as she carries out her commitment. The push to get rid of this thing – this thing that percolates deep within the bowels of her belly.
Emma is 57 years old. Out of shape. Overweight. And at the lowest point in her life she has ever been. She has absolutely no interest in the man who is fifteen years her junior and married to another woman who is pregnant with his child. She’s never dated him, never touched him in an inappropriate way, never entertained the idea of being in relationship of any kind with the man. As a matter of fact, she often finds him dull and boring, yet she falls deeply in love with him, so deep, it takes the meaning of the word to a whole new dimension.
Please tell me. How in God’s name does something like this happen?
The answer lies in a journey of inexplicable horror, and an unsettling discovery that forever changes Emma.

Ronald S. Barak, bestselling author, Olympic athlete, law school honors graduate, and experienced courtroom lawyer, is uniquely qualified to write his novels that appeal to all political and legal thriller fans.
Described by his readers as a cross between Agatha Christie, Lee Child, and John Lescroart, bestselling author Barak keeps his readers flipping the pages into the wee hours of the night. While he mostly lets his characters tell his stories, he manages to get his licks in too.
Barak derives great satisfaction from knowing that his books not only entertain but also stimulate others to think about how things might be, how people can actually resolve real-world problems. In particular, Barak tackles the country's dysfunctional government representatives--not just back-seat driving criticism for the sake of being a back-seat driver, but truly framing practical remedies to the political abuse and corruption adversely affecting too many people's lives today. Barak's extensive legal background and insight allow him to cleverly pollinate his fiction and today's sad state of political reality.
