Produktbeschreibung

It's 1908. Josie, the sixteen-year-old daughter of a Krakow professor, escapes betrothal to a mineralogist by running off to America with a superbly handsome stranger. They couldn't be a poorer intellectual and political match but their physical attraction is intense. The story of their initial encounter becomes a family myth of True Love that dominates three generations of otherwise intelligent, independent women. The novel chronicles the tension between these women's professional goals and their emotional and physical drives. The pivotal character is the brilliant, exquisite Alexandria Bach, who vows that Love will not ruin her life the way it destroyed her mother Josie. Alexandria is educated at the best of schools, becomes the first woman officer in U.S. Naval Intelligence, and plans a diplomatic careeruntil a man risks his life to win her love. How will she resolve her dilemma? If she marries and has children, would they be the debris of True Love or Its gifts?

Autorenporträt

>100 peer-reviewed research publications, both related to and independent of HIV infection, and is viewed as a world's expert in the overlapping areas of immunology, infectious diseases, and public health. During the years Dr. Jason was at CDC, she provided free health care at Emory University, where she was a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, Immunology, and Epidemiology. Now, in addition to her writing and consulting, Dr. Jason continues to provide free health care--at the Volunteers in Medicine Clinic on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina. Janine received her undergraduate degree from the University of Chicago and her M.D. degree from Harvard Medical School. She did a Pediatric Residency at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles and Immunology Fellowship at the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Ontario. After two years as a Research Associate at Yale University she entered the PHS. Since 2003, she's lived a bicoastal life, spending half the year fighting the weeds in her yard in South Carolina and half the year fighting them in Oregon and San Francisco. She enjoys two very independent daughters, a high-powered husband, and bizarre sheepdog. Janine travels a good deal--for work and pleasure--and takes her dog along as much as possible.
