Description
Book SynopsisTUESDAYS WITH MORRIE meets Nicholas Sparks, THE BOOK OF WHY is an original, arresting love story about a self-help author struggling to find his way.
Eric Newborn is used to dealing with people whose lives are in crisis; he''s the bestselling author of several motivational books, and an inspirational speaker. When Eric''s wife dies, he finds that grief renders him helpless. There is no easy cure, no platitude to comfort him, no replacement with which to fill the deep trough of his loss. So he retreats, with his female dog, Ralph, to his isolated home on Martha''s Vineyard.
Five years later, on a wild, storm-wracked night, a car crashes at the end of Eric''s lane and a woman turns up at his door, seeking help. Sam is a fan who has tracked him down, convinced that Eric will sort out the co-incidences that have both destroyed and coloured her life.
As Eric and Sam spin around one another like constellations in a greater universe, they set out to search for answer
