About the Book:
Hildy Halverson, a genius in math and science, is pushed by her parents to step into a male dominated field and change the world for women. But Hildy, enamored of the scientific force of the human body, and her own body’s ability to create and sustain life, decides contrary to contemporary expectations, that the best way to change the world is not through her abilities, but through her children.
Hildy wants her children to choose their own life paths. Despite her efforts to not influence her children, Hildy does so, often in unexpected ways. In this ambitious novel, the struggles and joys, fatigue, and exhilaration of motherhood, are captured in the full panorama of family life. Hildy lovingly raises her children, then lets them go, finding herself along the way.
