Convergence: a tale of four women
Convergence combines career advice with commercial fiction in a novel about 4 young scientists striving for academic success.

To keep their careers alive, however, they are in the end forced to consider something that would normally be unthinkable. What directions each of them end up taking may not only define their character but ultimately determine their destiny
