About

Whoever Lewis Bailhof was, he had the good fortune to discover and the good sense to recognize a remarkable story when it survived the flames that destroyed a Swiss monastery and fell into his nineteenth century hands.

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

"The story of Marie and Claude has passed through many hands before reaching yours." So the tale begins, of how a Medieval manuscript found its way into the 21st century.
