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

Well, growing up during the eighties there was this little known scandle called the Contra affair. I was sixteen at the time and thought wouldn't it be great to live under the stars in the Honduran jungle and find a girl and a good cause to support. Then when I turned thirty (and homeless at times) I realized living under the stars sucked, I'll never get the girl, and any cause I join I'll just screw up and have a bigger problem to fix- just like everything else in my life! Thus the phrase "What plan ever goes accordingly?"
