In this unforgettable novel for fans of One Day and The Time Traveler’s Wife, a young Isaac Newton falls in love with a girl living in modern-day San Francisco, defying the laws of physics to forge a seemingly impossible connection.
 
Andrea Louviere is seven years old the first time he appears. While she’s alone in her bedroom, practicing her beloved cello, the light shivers and a crack forms in the wall. Through the crack, she sees a candle, a window, a desk—and a boy. Though no sound travels through the wall, the boy clearly sees Andrea, too. And then, just as quickly as it opened, the crack closes, and he vanishes.
 
Over the years, summoning the bright, magnetic boy becomes something of an obsession for Andrea. Then, on her seventeenth birthday, she receives a three-hundred-year-old love letter from Isaac Newton. Andrea knows that Isaac will change the world with his groundbreaking discoveries; the letter tells Andrea that she will change him.
 
As Isaac’s letters intensify in passion and intimacy, Andrea grows determined to follow his clues to their shared destiny—despite a burgeoning romance in the present. Only when she discovers the way into Isaac’s time does Andrea realize that she faces a heartbreaking decision: between what was . . . and what might be.

​Andrea Louviere was destined to play the cello.  Her father, a celebrated concert cellist, made sure of that.  He taught her how focus her exceptional talent and about just how much power that music really holds.

​Even he couldn’t have imagined just how true his lesson would prove to be.
​
One day while practicing, her music opens a crack in her wall to reveal a beautiful boy with a smile that she can never forget.  And so begins her desperate search for a way to see him again.
 
A mysterious man suddenly appears on her doorstep carrying letters from the boy beyond the wall.  In his words, she finds strength to overcome her fears and a love that dares to transcend time.
Andrea, stop. Pray, take a breath. I swear to you, this is real. I am the boy behind your wall and you are the girl behind mine. Do not cast my words away.

Her heart lurched. If this was a trick, it was a cruel one. Tears burned behind her eyelids.

​You are seventeen and the time has come at last to tell you how everything began, how I have come to love you above all else, and how you will come to love me.
​Isaac Newton was historically known for being a loner.  He never married and never committed to anything – other than science.  But what history doesn’t know is that his heart belonged to a girl that he could never really have.  The brief glimpses that he had of Andrea kept him going through a lifetime of solitude and sadness. 
 
He would find a way to cross all barriers to tell her what was in his heart and maybe that would be enough to hold on to when even reason failed him.
 
But laws and hearts are meant to be broken and it’s a price that he will gladly pay for the beautiful girl made of magic and music.
There were two things that Isaac had come to rely on in this world: numbers and Andrea. On the surface, they were polar opposites. The first existed in the universe of logic, the other in the realm of magic and dreams. But they shared the one thing that mattered. Together, they made the world make sense. Numbers gave life order. Andrea gave it meaning.
​I expected a sweet and simple love story when I began to read Love and Gravity.  And what I experienced was something far different.  Samantha has created a wildly passionate tale filled with such longing and heartbreak that I couldn’t hold back the tears. She blended the new and the old with poetic precision and I was completely swept away by the music, the adventure and the infinite tenderness. It’s a feeling that I know I won’t forget for a very long time…
