Love and Gravity

A Novel




Fans of The Time Traveler’s Wife: a young Isaac Newton defies the laws of physics to forge a seemingly impossible connection with a woman living in modern-day San Francisco.

Andrea Louviere is seven years old the first time she sees him: a shiver of light, a crack in her bedroom wall, and a boy from another time looking back at her. Then, as quickly as it opened, the crack closes and he vanishes.

Years later, she receives an impossible love letter. It is centuries old. It is written by a young Isaac Newton. And it is addressed to her.

As their connection deepens across time, Andrea becomes entangled in a love that defies logic, distance and even history itself. But in a world bound by the laws of gravity, Andrea faces a heartbreaking decision:

Will she choose what was . . . or what might be?
