Failure of Judgment

Rebecca Meyer-Owens is a divorced, Jewish attorney. An east coast, snobby public defender, transplanted to Arkansas, she and her nine year old daughter are abducted by a hillbilly convict she had freed from prison. Taken to a remote hunting cabin, she is raped and forced to confront her many failings in life. Tom Hoskin's, a wickedly insightful and dishonest ne'er do well, shines a rather unpleasant light on her empty life, her lack of love and her own lies, leaving her pregnant and contemplating God in new ways when he frees her by killing himself. Opposed at the deepest personal level to abortion, she has to face decisions no woman would volunteer for.
Having been touched by an inner prompting while in Tom's hands, she begins to deeply regret her abandonment of her Jewish faith and God. Her ordeal forces her to reconsider that along with all the other things about her life she hid from with her work. Does she have the will to face being an unwed mother to her abductor's child, especially when she divorced her daughter's father to avoid having another child? Can she rearrange her priorities to make a life worth living, where love and faith hold sway? And how can she find someone to share her naughty urges with? How deep is her faith and understanding of God? What did Tom teach her about love? A deep and thoughtful piece of personal growth exploration with a strong dose of romance with a dash of chick lit!
Understanding your heart and needs as well as your place in life can be rather challenging! An intense, sensual and touching confrontation of a woman's fears and need for love.
