A Fierce Radiance - Kepler's Staff Review

Our heroine, Claire Shipley, is a single mother raising a young boy who she loves dearly. She is also a woman in distress over the death of her daughter, who died at the age of three. As a photojournalist for Life Magazine during the early days of WWII, she is sent to report on the development of a new drug called penicillin that could have saved her daughter and might save the lives of many soldiers in the field. But that is just the beginning of this intriguing story. Penicillin is scarce and in high demand. The need for the drug produces a perfect environment for the murder, greed, and danger that follow its discovery. Claire becomes embroiled in this critical time in American history, compelling the reader to turn page after page as they watch the world change through her eyes. -- Sina H.
