_____
1976, Rhode Island.
Lily Webb has spent years trying to build a steady, predictable life, far from her hometown marred by tragedy and the sister she cannot seem to save from herself.
Jane was always the brilliant one: fierce, complicated and drawn to the mysteries of the universe. But after their mother's death, Jane's gifts became entangled with addiction, pulling the sisters into a cycle of love, guilt and heartbreak that neither could escape.
Lily has found comfort in a quiet marriage to a devoted scientist, one who opened her eyes to the beauty of the natural world and offered her safety and stability. But when her first love, a boy she lost under devastating circumstances, returns, Lily is forced to confront the past she thought she had buried.
As old wounds reopen, and her fragile bond with Jane grows ever more tenuous, Lily must navigate the tension between the life she's built and the life she once imagined for herself.
A decades-spanning tale rich with questions of faith, science and the ties that hold us together, Laws of Love and Logic is a compelling, emotionally gripping novel about sisterhood, forgiveness and the complicated nature of love.

At once sweeping and intimate, Laws of Love and Logic is a gorgeous meditation on roads not taken. Debra Curtis is not afraid to explore big questions about love and loss, but always with tenderness
Shelby van Pelt, author of REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES
-
Laws of Love and Logic resonated so deeply with me, it's the best thing I've read in years. A magnificent, spellbinding love story with characters I'll be thinking about for a long time. I was utterly enthralled by it
Clare Leslie Hall, author of BROKEN COUNTRY
-
A captivating debut about love, loss and the many ways in which the past bleeds into the present, set against a backdrop of thirty years' worth of American social progress and shifting expectations for women. Throughout it all, Lily wrestles with her love for two very different men, and is sustained by the unbreakable bond she shares with her brilliant but deeply complicated sister, Jane. I will be thinking about them both for a long, long time
J. Courtney Sullivan, author of THE CLIFFS

Debra Curtis writes fearlessly and wisely about family, marriage, addiction, faith, and redemption, and her soulful characters never take the easy way out. The motherless sisters in her debut novel Laws of Love and Logic grow up in the face of problems that have no solutions, where the way forward is simple but never easy: love unconditionally, try not to hurt anyone, and brace yourself for the next loss, the next joy
Bonnie Jo Campbell, author of THE WATERS
-
Laws of Love and Logic journeys fearlessly from deep space to the innermost chambers of the heart; the result is both tender and profound. Curtis has such extraordinary talent – I didn't want it to end!
