Sally and Sebastian Nancy Spicer

When you've survived an abusive marriage and raised six kids on your own, you get used to doing things for yourself. But now, in her midsixties, Sally is starting to feel like letting someone in might not be such a bad idea. Inspiration strikes in the unlikely form of the Wheeler-Feynman absorber theory. Could Sally's love of physics bring her a love life? It's worth an experiment.



She sends out love and light in the form of a story designed to bring the man of her dreams to her doorstep. And who should come along but Sebastian, a widower whose granddaughter is in Sally's Sunday School class. He's charming, Sally's kids like him, and he's even a physics professor!



It seems as though Sally's experiment is a success, but there are variables she hadn't allowed for, including her two cold feet. Romance can sometimes seem more desirable in theory than in reality, and trust isn't an easy equation. It will take a journey to Scotland, a dangerous job, an unexpected attack, and a leap of faith for Sally to let the light of love truly shine.
