At an isolated research station in Antarctica, biologist Laurel Salter washes dishes for a living ten hours a day, six days a week. She tells no one why she left her career, or why her marriage ended.<\/p>\n
But even in this remote outpost, Laurel can’t outrun her past. When a strange light appears across the ice and draws a group of physicists to McMurdo, her former husband, Eli, won’t be far behind.<\/p>\n
Laurel is captivated by the Arc: its surreal glow; the way it seems almost alive. And though Eli is reluctant to test her wildest theory, Laurel is convinced that the Arc leads down a rabbit hole, and into a world they can barely imagine. Can she persuade him to risk everything to fix the burden that hangs between them – to turn back the clock and live their story a second time?<\/p>\n
And this time, live it differently.<\/i><\/p>\n
Once read, never forgotten, Under Story<\/i> is a genre-defying exploration of the promise of this life, what might lie beyond it, and how far we would go for more time with the people we love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
