Gordon McKenna is just out of college when his beloved sister and her husband are killed in a car accident, leaving behind a baby daughter, Keefer. Gordon and his parents, having helped raise Keefer nearly every day of her life, assume that they will now bring up Keefer as their own. But they are shocked when the paternal grandparents launch a campaign to gain custody of the young girl, raising issues so provocative that they drive the McKennas to despair and then outrage. The legal tug-of-war ultimately becomes a crucible in which the capacity and limitations of family love are repeatedly tested and the frontiers of the human heart pushed to unimagined limits.

“[An] astonishing pleasure.”

“A graceful, moving, and compelling novel. Jacquelyn Mitchard at her finest.”
—Scott Turow, author of InnocentA poignant and unforgettable novel from Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of the monumental New York Times bestsellers The Deep End of the Ocean and The Most Wanted, A Theory of Relativity is a powerful tale that explores the emotional dynamics and dramas of two families fighting for custody of a young child. The very first author selected by the Oprah Book Club, Mitchard is a matchless, wise, and warm chronicler of families and their human foibles—and A Theory of Relativity is contemporary women’s fiction at its best, a must-read for fans of Sue Miller, Jane Hamilton, and Elizabeth Berg.
