A media educator confronts deception at home
Jillian Dawson’s professional concerns about mass media and critical judgment become immediate when an inbox scam threatens her household’s retirement savings. The novel connects digital manipulation on a cultural scale with the intimate pressure of protecting a marriage, financial security, and long-held beliefs. Jillian’s effort to build a media-literacy curriculum runs alongside a confrontation with the methods of a technologically adept deceiver, sharpening the book’s interest in how people evaluate messages, trust, and risk. Religious conviction is part of the personal ground tested by this crisis, placing questions of faith beside anxieties about electronic influence and fraud.

Media literacy educator Jillian Dawson thinks the mind-numbing influence that mass media spreads through our culture, along with the motives and methods behind it, makes us all marks in the biggest and most multi-faceted con game the planet can possibly experience. But as she tries to create a curriculum guide that will keep students from falling prey to the dangers of the electronic jungle, her husband is targeted by another kind of scam that floats into his inbox and threatens to drain their retirement savings. Can she keep him, and by extension herself, from becoming losers in a game that's been devised by a tech-savvy person who at a younger age might have been one of her favorite students? Can the beliefs on which she's built her life survive the emotional maelstrom she experiences? The answers to these questions come in the telling of a story that Jillian hopes will be appealing enough to be heard above the cacophony of voices that are trying to anaesthetize our critical judgment by amusing us to death.
