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.

Morgan Greer tells us he's no great detective, just a small-town hack. But as this thoroughly engaging story unfolds, one local sleazeball after another discovers that Greer's a lot better than he thinks. Greer and his creator, Harris Tobias, are savvy players in one of American literature's classic genres. <br /><br />Brian Donovan, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist &amp; author of &quot;Hard Driving: The American Odyssey of NASCAR's First Black Driver.
