Admittedly I am a little biased reading this book. My parents worked for the Sister for years before my grandmother accepted a position there as well and as a result I have spent many years on the campus and several of the sisters have seen me grow up. I've been working there for three years now (while attending Siena Heights University), and know several of the sisters who are quoted in the book. It was fascinating to read about her life especially during her school years since I've been in so many of the buildings and frequently spend my breaks at the labyrinth. I'm not as interested in the biology aspect of it, but it does help to make connections between the basics and how they have been practically applied.
