The Path of Minor Planets

"Three exceptional women are at the center of the group: the quietly brilliant Denise, destined for professional greatness and personal calamity; Kathy, distant and shrewd but longing for connection; and young and careless Lydia, attempting to escape the scientists' long-casting shadows. All three women make choices early in their lives that echo and return - like the comet above them - over a quarter century."--BOOK JACKET.
