If you're intrigued by the intersection of science and the supernatural, "Lost and Wanted" could resonate with you. It weaves together the cerebral world of a physicist with the emotional turmoil of unexpected loss, challenging the protagonist's—and possibly your own—views on reality versus the unexplainable. This is especially compelling if you appreciate stories that are as much about human relationships as they are about the enigmas of the universe.

So it’s perhaps especially vexing when, on an otherwise unremarkable Wednesday in June, she gets a phone call from a friend who has just died.That friend was Charlotte Boyce, Helen’s roommate at Harvard. The two women once confided in each other about Helen’s struggles as a young woman in science, Charlie’s as a black screenwriter in Hollywood, their shared challenges as parents. But as the years passed, they gradually grew apart. And now Charlie is permanently, tragically gone.Drawn back into her friend’s orbit, Helen is forced to question the laws of the universe that have always steadied her mind and heart. Suspenseful, perceptive, deeply affecting, Lost and Wanted is a story of friends and lovers, lost and found, at the most defining moments of their lives.
