Thank you to Celadon Books for this ARC!
Dr Ashley has dedicated his life to studying the power of genetics. This book is oozing with his passion not only for science, but for his patients. He shares stories of his patients with rare genetics of all different kinds. Each patient is full of life, and Ashley gives the abstract idea of a genome a very tangible face.
Genetics are an ever growing field, and Dr Ashley has a front row seat. He is from Scotland, but works in Stanford. He and several of his very distinguished colleagues are working tirelessly to personalize medicine based on the patients’ genomes. They are making huge discoveries about genes that control everything from heart valves to cholesterol.
To be honest, I am not a huge fan of nonfiction, science books. However, this one is so genuine that I could not help being involved. There were a lot of different people to remember, and I did lose track of them, especially what the different scientists’ specialties were. But I loved following the families and seeing them get specific diagnoses.
This book infuses the reader with hope and curiosity. They have achieved a lot in the field of genetics, but they have so far to go. And this book leaves me excited to find out what comes in the future!
