Caught in the Net
Ellen Stiles is the married, hard-working mother of two young children, nearing 40, who on a whim, it seems, begins to explore the romantic and erotic side of the Internet, from services to meet people and personals to chat rooms. Quickly, without realizing it, she is sucked into this bizarre, exciting place, where she feels more alive and sensual than she's felt in years and where she learns things about herself--both lovely and disturbing. She talks freely with people she barely knows and feels closer to some of them than any of her long-time friends or family. She laughs as she's never laughed. And she finds it so easy to forget certain things--the death of her father and a home routine that has become too routine.
Then she falls in love with a man she has never met in person and knows mainly through instant messages and text messages and long, steamy conversations on the phone. It feels overwhelmingly powerful and beautiful--unlike any love she's ever felt. But is it real? Is it absurd? And what does she do now?
Shaken to the core, Ellen struggles with reconciling this addicting place with what she suddenly has come to think of as "the real world."
This is a well-written, sometimes earthy, sometimes elegant, erotic, romantic, wise, amusing tale about learning about one's self, connecting with people, coping with pain and the vicissitudes of life, and finding love in the most surprising places.
