Ilana manages an opera house in Manhattan. Her world is tidy and planned until she begins to question the choices she has made. Having been adopted, she decides to secretly spy on her birth family. When she does her life explodes.

This novel is about how our lives are driven by unconscious decision-making and the consequences from our illusion of free will and deliberative thought.

Lost In Thought

“This book is about a character navigating matters of self-control and real choices it is an interesting hybrid -- a cross between sheer storytelling and storytelling where the impact of a scientific idea is profound and underlies the entire work. It is gripping."
