About this book
The pioneering life of a brilliant woman and her fight for recognition in a world on the brink of change
OR/
Deeply inspiring and gracefully wrought, Claire Holman Rothman's testament to the times and trials of one of the medical profession's pioneering women is made all the more compelling for its unabashed affection towards its heroine. Agnes White is the brilliant, awkward champion whose story of defiance and fortitude is driven only by her need to be what she is – her father's daughter.

Heartwarming and inspiring, Rothman's debut is a gracefully wrought story of a brilliant woman fighting for recognition in a world on the brink of change. An incredible story of perseverance and passion, The Heart Specialist sets the young, headstrong Agnes White against the prejudice and arrogance of the medical establishment in a battle that will eventually grant her the right to save lives as a practising doctor. Set against the upheaval and social strictures of the early 1900s and based on true events, this unforgettable novel is a testament to the spirit, intelligence, and determination we summon when people stand in the way of our dreams.
