Jaclyn Moriarty
Book - 2019

Twenty years ago, Abigail Sorenson<U+2019>s brother Robert went missing one day before her sixteenth birthday, never to be seen again. That same year, she began receiving scattered chapters in the mail of a self-help manual, the Guidebook, whose anonymous author promised to make her life soar to heights beyond her wildest dreams. The Guidebook<U+2019>s missives have remained a constant in Abi<U+2019>s life<U+2014>a befuddling yet oddly comforting voice through her family<U+2019>s grief over her brother<U+2019>s disappearance, a move across continents, the devastating dissolution of her marriage, and the new beginning as a single mother and café owner in Sydney. Now, two decades after receiving those first pages, Abi is invited to an all-expenses paid weekend retreat to learn “the truth” about the Guidebook. It<U+2019>s an opportunity too intriguing to refuse. If Everything is Connected, then surely the twin mysteries of the Guidebook and a missing brother must be linked? What follows is completely the opposite of what Abi expected<U+2013><U+2013>but it will lead her on a journey of discovery that will change her life<U+2013><U+2013>and enchant readers. Gravity Is the Thing is a smart, unusual, wickedly funny novel about the search for happiness that will break your heart into a million pieces and put it back together, bigger and better than before.
