✦ Synopsis

"Dawn, why don't you tell us about yourself," Cody's mother asked.

She told the things she'd invented about Dawn Fields. They seemed willing to accept it, even though, she painfully reminded herself, it was all a lie. She was an imposter in their home.

They trust me, she thought. But I'm not Dawn Fields, and I'm not a member of the Church, and I can't be married to their son in a temple.

Lisa Dawn Salinger—a prize-winning, eccentric graduate student and physicist, who the world believes has answers to problems that even Einstein couldn't solve. But the harassment of news-hungry reporters sends her fleeing for cover.

Dawn Fields—a music education major at Brigham Young University, out-going, pretty, and popular. The identity she left behind at Princeton, however, keeps fighting to be heard while she falls in love, finds a new faith, and learns to cook spaghetti.

Lisa Dawn's struggles to find herself take her from Princeton to BYU and back again, from Sweden to Fargo, North Dakota, and through an array of characters ranging from greedy to promoters and suing professors to caring roommates, eager dates, and a Mormon family.

Jack Weyland's fifth novel, and perhaps his best, A New Dawn is a sparkling, warm, and often humorous portrayal of a brilliant young woman's search for self—a search that readers may well recognize in themselves.
