Breaking Through the Spiral Ceiling: An American Woman Becomes a DNA Scientist
Description
Laura Hoopes takes you along as she tries to enter science in the 1960's in the post-Sputnik science education frenzy, only to find doors closed to women. She persists, makes a career of molecular gerontology and insists on making space for marriage and children in her life. This inspiring read says, "Yes, you can," to women who have dreams of their own.
Story Behind The Book
It took me ten years to finally write this follow-up to RHYTHMS. I do hope that the wait will be worth it for the readers.

What a great twist for a reality show contestant. The book definitely
made me want to have a romantic getaway to Antigua and visit the sites
the characters visited. A very interesting love story. I couldnt put it
down until I knew who would be the winner on the show. I could not
decide which character i was pulling for to win, I only knew I wanted
the two of them to get together. I was never certain how Donna would
pull it off, but as usual her ending was wonderful for both
characters...and for her readers. What a twist of fate!<div></div>
