The Ninth Month

About the book

A single woman is on the brink of facing the consequences of her own achievements.

At first glance, Emily Atkinson seems to have everything she could ever want - a thriving career, a lavish apartment in the heart of New York City, and a life filled with glitz and glamour. However, her world is turned upside down when she finds herself hospitalized with a double diagnosis.

It turns out that her lifestyle of endless partying has taken a toll on her health, and to make matters more complicated, she discovers that she is expecting a child.

During her time in the hospital, Emily forms a close bond with her nurse, Betsey, who helps her recover and encourages her to embrace simpler pleasures such as morning jogs in the park and quiet evenings at home.

But just as Emily starts to focus on her health and the well-being of her unborn child, a string of mysterious disappearances shakes the community, putting her pregnancy at great risk...

The question remains: will Emily survive long enough to see her journey through to the end?
