Review Quotes: * "Vividly imagines the lives of three girls who grew up to become famous for their achievements in science. . . . Atkins has a knack for turning a phrase. . . . Science is woven through the narratives, but within the fabric of the characters' daily lives and family struggles. . . . each of these three perceptive portrayals is original and memorable."
