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

Rising Tides is a love story about the choices we make knowing that while love may well be eternal, life isn't, at least not this life.

<span style="vertical-align:middle;"><strong>Sad but good</strong>, November 26, 2009</span><div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"></div> <div class="tiny" style="margin-bottom:.5em;"><strong><span class="h3color tiny">By Joanne Harris</span><span style="text-decoration:underline;"></span></strong> (Amazon Review)<br />This was a very gripping story of love in the face of something tragic. I found myself drawn in by the characters, and the story. I was drawn to the combination of love, loss and over coming life's challenges. I found myself sad then happy several times for the main character, and loved the ending. I enjoy a love story with a twist.  <span style="margin-right:5px;"><span class="swSprite s_star_5_0" title="5.0 out of 5 stars"><span></span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="vertical-align:middle;"><strong>A new favorite</strong></span><div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"></div><span class="crVerifiedStripe"><span class="tiny verifyWhatsThis"></span></span><strong><span class="h3color tiny"></span></strong><div class="tiny" style="margin-bottom:.5em;"></div><span style="font-weight:bold;">By  LT (Amazon Review)<br /></span>Rising Tides is a beautiful and heart wrenching love story that is worth every bit of 5 stars. As will all of Maria Hooley's novels, the story captivates you and is impossible to put down. For Kelly and Tyler love can conquer all. Keep the tissues nearby - they'll be needed. <br /></div>
