Saint Joan of New York
My latest book, SAINT JOAN OF NEW YORK: A NOVEL ABOUT GOD AND STRING THEORY, has just become available!
It's about a modern-day Joan of Arc, a 17-year-old math genius who becomes obsessed with discovering the Theory of Everything. Her name is Joan Cooper, and she’s a lonely, confused high-school student in New York City, but she also has an extraordinary gift for mathematics, and she’s already mastered the most difficult branches of geometry and topology. Traumatized by the recent death of her older sister, Joan tries to rebuild her shattered world by studying string theory and the efforts to unify the laws of physics. But as she tackles the complex equations, she falls prey to disturbing visions of a divine being who wants to help her unveil the universe’s mathematical design. Joan must enter the battle between science and religion, fighting for her sanity and a new understanding of the cosmos.
