A THEORY OF RELATIVITY

'Jacquelyn Mitchard's canvas in A Theory of Relativity is peopled with parents, lovers, lawyers, farmers and children who have convictions and questions about what it means to be family. This family saga is filled with trademark Mitchard humor and compassion and is, to date, her best.'
JANE HAMILTON author of A Map of the World

The compelling and heartrending new novel from the author of the million-selling The Deep End of the Ocean.

A tragic accident, an orphaned one-year-old and a bitter struggle that will break your heart.

For Gordon McKenna and his parents, the only way they can survive the loss of their beloved sister and daughter, Georgia, is to prepare to devote themselves heart and soul to the care of her baby girl, Keefer. But another family feels the same way and, as Keefer becomes the focus of a fiercely fought custody battle, the limits of love, and its capacity to heal, are tested again and again.
