by Matthew Arnold Stern

Lucy Merriweather is a single mother trapped in a merger gone wrong. She has a staff who does not trust her, a boss with a hidden agenda, a coworker she is falling in love with, and Bartleby – the reclusive and enigmatic employee whose silence conceals a dangerous secret. And you thought you had a bad day at work. Offline takes you inside the computer industry for a tale of cutthroat office politics, romance, bad corporate fashion, and a woman's faith that is put to the ultimate challenge.
