Smith is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around themes of time travel and destiny, as it explores the complexities of love and relationships impacted by chronological interference. The narrative follows physicist Peter Hedgerly and his unexpected encounter with his future grandson, Joseph, who has traveled back in time to ensure the consistency of history.  The plot unfolds as Joseph Hedgerly informs Peter that he is destined to marry a woman named Marie Baker—one who Peter has never met but whom Joseph claims is his future wife. This premise leads to humorous and intriguing complications as Peter, already infatuated with Joan Willson, resists the notion of a predetermined fate. As the characters navigate their feelings and confront the implications of time travel, they are faced with the challenge of embracing or defying their so-called destinies. The story culminates in a comedic twist that highlights the unpredictability of life and love, as the characters attempt to rewrite their futures in a world seemingly governed by historical inevitability.
