A Rock Sails By
By Sean Grennan
The unmistakable cleverness that defines Grennan's work, coupled with his signature talent for crafting relatable characters within moments of humor and humanity, is readily apparent in "A Rock Sails By."
Dr. Lynn Cummings, an astrophysicist, tries to bring science and faith into balance while grappling with personal questions, reconnecting with her daughter, and mourning the loss of her husband. When an unidentified object is discovered heading toward Earth, a less-than-reputable online magazine misquotes her, casting doubt on her credibility. The two-time Nobel Prize nominee and the ambitious journalist monitor the mysterious object. Dr. Cummings hopes to witness nothing remarkable and thus save her reputation, but there is no telling what she will discover beyond the stars.
