Momentum is a captivating historical novel about Dr. Maria Montessori, a brilliant woman who defied societal norms, becoming one of Italy's first female doctors and later revolutionizing education worldwide. Taking its bones from an actual diary written by Dr. Montessori in 1913 chronicling her first voyage to America, Momentum is a fictionalized retelling of that same journey. Written directly to her son, Mario, the novel illuminates their complicated relationship and how he came to be raised by others while she focused on her work.

She’s on a mission to reunite with her soul mate. He’s the fool who agreed to help her. A year ago Claudia was Hollywood’s most sought-after actress, now the only role she can get is a bit part in a TV series filmed in Hawaii. She can’t afford to say no, and Hawaii offers something more than CPR for her career - it’s the home of her first love, a man she’s been dreaming of for six years. Henry is the best in the business. The fearless stuntman is used to standing in for the leading man. He’s never wanted to be the star until Claudia saunters onto set.

Lou already has the perfect boyfriend. She shouldn’t be attracted to the brooding beach boy who picks her up from the airport on her Hawaiian vacation. Keoni isn’t even Lou’s type. She prefers a man who wears a suit to work and cuts his hair regularly, not a dangerously sexy surfer who hates tourists.
