It spans some of the greatest medical scientists in history, with complementing prose. I was fascinated and left wanting more...as we know their to be so many wonderful scientists in the world, and notably in the world past. My favorites of course, Pasteur, Banting, Laennec, Lister. Unfortunately, Marie Currey wasn't in this book, except in the author's note as well as many others...however, there were plenty of good ones. I recommend this to anyone interested in the history of medicine in a storybook fashion. Awesome!

The work is very well done. In the back are several essays that help the reader to understand why such a book is needed and includes concrete ways to reclaim the stories of biblical women and introduce them to the community.

I REALLY WAS LET DROWN WHEN I GOT THIS BOOK AFTER READING OTHER BOOKS IN THE SERIAL. I FEEL THAT PUTTING THREE DIFFERTANT STORIES INTO ONE BOOK JUST DID NOT WORK. THE PEOPLE IN THE BOOKS SEEM FLAT. I RREALLY HOPE THAT THE AUTHOR DO BETTER NEXT TIME.

This book, first in four about the Lyon family of New Orleans is well written and I wanted to learn more about the family. Good continuity in the three stories.

But not the best I've read. Its plenty racy and sexy, but I think the author could have made two stories out of this one, she was so ambitious. The premise is that the main character, Joanna is a writer for a racy magazine. In order to drum up readership, she offers herself to the winner of the most creative sexual fantasies submitted. She also has some kind of submissive thing going on with her boss in the meantime. There is also a letter every month that intrigues her, that always starts with "I know you Joanna" (hence the title). It comes to a somewhat predictable ending, but its not a bad read.
