It’s a miraculous story… For those of us who took our e ducations for granted or occasionally fell asleep in large lecture halls … it’s hard to grasp the level of grit … and intellect required for her to earn her PhD at Cambridge University … and what she had to sacrif ice to attain it… (this book) is an inspiring reminder that knowledge is \, indeed\, power.” (Amazon)\n\nPlease join us on Tuesday\, January 8\, 2019 at noon in the Fireside Room to discuss this extraordinary book.
