First Novel for Alumna
Sue Williams, Marymount Class of '74, has recently (August 2010) published her first novel,
Anna's Secret Legacy.
Anna's Secret Legacy is a love affair between an American Pilot and a brilliant female research Scientist who is endangered by her remarkable scientific discovery. The novel is set in Copenhagen and Paris in April 1940, against the backdrop of a world at war.
The Press Release notes:
"Laced with twists and riveting turns, and echoing the very real threats of today’s world, Anna’s Secret Legacy is a fascinating love story that grabs the reader and doesn't let go—right up through the book’s surprise ending. More, with the current focus on the potential for good through stem-cell research, combined with the opposing threat of biological warfare that continues to increase across the globe, this story about what was going on behind laboratory doors 70 years ago is something that will be both enticing and relevant to today’s readers.
Described as a magnificent WWII epic, the story, both historically accurate and scientifically credible, is told from a unique perspective—centered in Scandinavia and its significance in the lead-up to Hitler’s invasion of Denmark and Norway, as well as the little-known facts about the molecular discovery and potential of sulphur water to restore dysfunctional and damaged DNA cells and protect the cell membrane, making it invincible to disease."
We look forward to welcoming Sue to Marymount in the Autumn 2010 during her book tour to England.
