书籍简介

让我们来看看威拉·诺克斯，一个勇敢面对世界的女人，这个世界似乎对她和她的家人——或者他们周围摇摇欲坠的老房子——毫无怜悯之心。薇拉的两个成年子女，一个刚出生的外孙，和她生病的公公都在生活似乎在不稳定的时候搬进来了。但当威拉发现19世纪有一位女性科学家先驱住在同一条街上时，这种历史联系是否足以挽救她们的家免于毁灭?尽管困难重重，威拉能让她的家庭团结在一起吗?

Meet Willa Knox, a woman who stands braced against a world which seems to hold little mercy for her and her family - or their old, crumbling house, falling down around them. Willa's two grown-up children, a new-born grandchild, and her ailing father-in-law have all moved in at a time when life seems at its most precarious. But when Willa discovers that a pioneering female scientist lived on the same street in the 1800s, could this historical connection be enough to save their home from ruin? And can Willa, despite the odds, keep her family together?
