When Emma is driven by a forceful entity to love a man she doesn't want to love, she must fight the internal battle all the way through to the end. It begs the question of what is real love and how far one must go to experience it." -Stephanie Elliot, author Emma is fifty-seven 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, 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 a 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.

The push to get rid of this thing-this thing that percolates deep within the bowels of her belly.The answer lies in a journey of inexplicable horror, and an unsettling discovery that forever changes Emma.
