Sidra is the reincarnation of Isaac Newton, who had created a stone that gives life to dead people. At Newton’s death, his children thought he had cursed them to die after several hundred years.

Van and two of his brothers have been looking for the Alchemist to try to reverse the curse. After meeting Sidra, Van is not sure she is the one, though events soon make it clear she is.

The heartache and insecurity of the characters in Love’s Alchemy will resonate with all who read this book. The author pulls you into the story with the emotional ups and downs as Van and Sidra try to come to grips with their attraction to each other. This book will require tissues to be available while reading some of the exchanges between Van and Sidra. The story pulls you back and forth between Newton and Sidra as well as some of the other siblings. Sometimes the back and forth between Sidra and Newton seemed to jar the story for me because it would jump without any kind of warning. While the premise of this story is good, I sometimes felt lost as I read it and I could not really get a grasp of the characters.
