Not your typical romantic escapade, When Your Body Gets Weak depicts a May/November romance. The story blends intrigue, suspense, jealousy, desolation, physical fitness, camaraderie, and triumph, re-enforcing the principle that chivalry is still alive and well.

Imani's soulmate, Sonjae, a young man fifteen years younger than herself, was scheduled to attend a meeting in one of the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001. Imani refuses to acknowledge that Sonjae has perished, despite media reports and data about the survival possibilities of those present in the buildings.

The book demonstrates that young men can sustain the timeless attribute of chivalry, while still maintaining virility with their male peers.

When Your Body Gets Weak will also inspire women to acknowledge their own strength no matter the circumstance, as well as the power of unquestionable faith, and the unconditional love that transcends adversarial occurrences.

"I sincerely hope that when you turn the final page, you will concur that age indeed is just a number," says the author.

Part of the novel pays homage to those who perished on 9/11 and their families.
