The mirth, the teasing, the pleasing, the grief, the relief, you're swept fancifully along by the interactions of the characters. It's the kind of uncomfortable conversation you take for granted until, that is, it comes knocking at your door and you have no idea what your options actually are.ĭorothy May Mercer's dialogues are tasteful they have that organic chemistry that can only take place through the interaction of real people. The information should be appreciated as well. I appreciate that on-the-fence approach, since abortion is a sensitive subject and some would have been repulsed by a distinctly clear bias. It does not take termination lightly, nor does the book explicitly renounce or promote it.
The book tries its best to provide informed and thoughtful insight on the subject. Often times, you'll unconsciously blitz through a dozen pages of the book's crisp and poised narration and be alarmed that you've covered so much ground.Ī recurring theme present in the story is birth control. It's not a figure of speech nor a gross compliment to say that the book is hard to put down. Through her vast experience as a writer, Dorothy May Mercer has found the perfect balance for a fast-paced yet engaging writing style. In the wake of the consequences to her social life that take place afterwards, Cynthia must also juggle the fact that her new relationship may implicate her professional career, and in her line of work, that can lead to a political disaster. Completely enthralled, and a little bit tipsy after a few drinks, Cynthia disregards that she's in a stale but committed relationship with her longtime partner, Dan, and ends up sharing a passionate, unprotected night with Sky. During that period, she catches the attention of a charming and whimsical stranger by the name of Sky Eastman, who keeps her company during the ordeal and offers her shelter. In what's later brushed off to the public as a simple accident by a hobbyist, a drone bypasses the walls of the White House, instigating a lockdown that traps Cynthia for hours in traffic.
While in that piece, we glimpse Cynthia mainly in her professional capacities and her budding relationship with Dan MacIntyre, here, we're exposed to a chapter of her personal life that threatens to damn not just her private life, but also may compromise a grave secret mission she and her brother have set out to do waging a cyber war against the enemies of the United States.
The enchanting tale she's weaved this time revolves primarily around Cynthia, a character she has put to use before in another of her books, The Fairfax Fix. Cynthia and Dan: Cyber War is another fiction piece by veteran author Dorothy May Mercer.
