Tipping Points

Written through the voices of three main characters, Tipping Points focuses on issues of attraction versus love, the familiar versus the evolving, and safety versus commitment. Jared, divorced with a school-age daughter, finds himself attracted to virtually the whole human race. Eena, an enigmatic scientist of singular beauty, intrigues him like no one else. Deirdre, Jared's office mate, finds the relationship between Jared and Eena troublesome and tries to meddle in it. As the relationship deepens Eena discovers a biological reason for her uncommon powers of perception, and must come to terms with Jared in light of it.

"Mark Saba is a masterful storyteller. He weaves the three first-person narratives into a beautiful tapestry which, like any good artist knows, is never finished but merely abandoned. It may raise more questions than it answers, but in that way it mirrors life. He balances and counterbalances the differences and the similarities of the characters until they reach a tipping point." —Katherine E. Wall, Online Book Club
