      Disillusioned by divorce, reporter Sophia Smith Dubonnet gets her chance at a big story – interviewing a reclusive dictator in a third world country. What she finds challenges her perceptions as she becomes enamored with the General and his ideas, struggling to remain aloof despite his charisma. But before she can enjoy a brief romance, she’s forced to make a decision at gunpoint: does she side with what she’d previously believed to be right, or take a chance on where her heart might lead her? Sophia's irreverent humor should give you a few chuckles. The story has believable characters, action, and romance; a great weekend escape, airplane or beach read. Here's what readers have said about "The Essence": "I really enjoyed this novel. It was funny, interesting and always had you guessing what was going to happen to Sophia next. A great book!" (Lulu reader) "Wonderful book. It captured my interest from the beginning and held it through the very end. A wonderful romance with a twist of excitement! I'm ready to read a sequel! " (Amazon reader ) "Enjoyed the humor - found myself laughing out loud on the Metro!" (Reader in Washington, DC area - via email) "I loved this story. It's romantic, yet fast paced and intriguing. Excellent reading to bring with you on vacation, to the pool, on a plane trip, etc." (Lulu reader) ​
