Description

A riveting novel based on the true story of the woman who stopped a pandemic. In 1940s and '50s America, polio was as dreaded as the atomic bomb, with outbreaks putting American cities in lockdown. Dorothy Horstmann's determination to find a cure drove her to hunt down the monster in the blood, making a groundbreaking discovery that catapulted her colleague to the forefront of the vaccine race. As the stakes grew higher, Dorothy faced an impossible choice: support her colleague or validate his vaccine. With the world watching, she had to decide what was forgivable and how much should be sacrificed in pursuit of the cure. This gripping story explores the challenges faced by women in science and the power of determination in the face of adversity. Lynn Cullen's novel is a testament to the enduring spirit of those who have shaped our understanding of medicine and disease.
