DESCRIPTION:
When Joe Mitchell launches into space, the world is watching. It’s 1968, and the country waits with anticipation and excitement for another successful mission, another celebration as America sets its sights on the Moon. And then comes the knock at the door.
Joe Mitchell’s spacecraft has lost contact. He and his fellow astronauts onboard are feared to be dead. It’s his wife Vivian’s worst nightmare come to life, her grief suddenly taking center stage as the nation waits and mourns. In her quiet moments, Vivian relives their memorable story, unable to accept that this is the end to a love that felt as though it was written in the stars.
As the investigation surrounding Joe’s lost spacecraft intensifies and the mishap is written off as an operator error, Vivian is determined to clear her husband’s name and uncover the mystery of what happened in space. When someone starts sending Vivian messages—messages she believes only Joe could send—she begins to wonder if their love is stronger than space and time, and she’ll do whatever it takes to bring her husband back to her.
An Infinite Love Story is set in 1968, during the height of the Space Race. Vivian Mitchell’s husband, Joe, has always wanted to fly with huge ambition. His dream of becoming an astronaut is finally fulfilled, and when he and two other astronauts launch into space, their spacecraft becomes lost. Sadly, all three astronauts are presumed dead.
At its heart, this is a love story. Through Vivian and Joe’s relationship, we learn about the depth of their love and the life they have shared. But as the hours turn into days following the spacecraft’s disappearance, the story also becomes one of fear, uncertainty, and heartbreak.
Vivian is central to the story, and her struggle with grief is palpable. Then, quite unexpectedly, she begins receiving messages. She is certain they are from Joe. As Vivian starts digging deeper, she begins to consider possibilities that seem almost impossible: wormholes, time travel, and the space-time continuum. Could Joe really still be alive? Could he be caught between two dimensions? And could the intense love Vivian and Joe share somehow transcend the boundaries of time and space?
What an intriguing story! I was fascinated by the concept of the space-time continuum and how it became the backdrop for this compelling and deeply emotional story. An Infinite Love Story is a thought-provoking tale of love, loss, and the possibility that some connections can truly transcend time and space.
