While the first third of this well-researched book moves at a snail\\\'s pace, we become more invested in Hannah Price\\\'s journey into astronomy and independence as the story evolves. Great insight into the life of Quakers and women on Nantucket in the 1800s. Encourages women to not forsake passion in their intellectual growth.

Raunchy is an understatement. Based on a true story and unsolved murder among San Francisco's underbelly in the 1870's.
