Publisher's summary

Katia Simon spent her entire childhood repressing her desire to feel the embrace of her parents and her entire adult life hiding her lust for even a single kiss from her husband for fear of being rejected by her community and exiled to the Outside. The physical touch laws imposed on this society deprive humanity of the comfort of a warm hug or the calming squeeze of a hand, but Kat refuses to accept that fate. She applies to become a Baby Maker with visions of a baby wrapped tightly in her arms and freedom from her husband keeping her optimistic, even in the midst of an oppressive government reign.

Her idyllic fantasy of a baby’s soft skin against her bare arms within one brief moment changes from a plausible goal to an unlikely wish when she is kidnapped from the Baby Making Facility. Now Katia must fight for her life, and the baby’s, while also trying to escape to the safety of the Outside without letting Jax, a member of the rebel group that opposes the physical touch laws, kill her first. Through this quest for survival, Jax and Katia realize that maybe their philosophies are more in line with each other than they originally believed.

Touch is a journey from repression to revolution that transforms a once bleak and lonely future for a man and a woman to one that contains an optimistic outlook for a new beginning with a little romance thrown in the mix. Told from the perspective of the villain and the victim, this novel allows the audience to empathize with unlikely characters while simultaneously immersing listeners in the thriller like qualities of the plot.
