THEA COOPER |
Few expected that Elizabeth Hughes, diagnosed with juvenile diabetes in 1919, would live to adulthood, much less to welcome children and grandchildren into the world. Her story, and that of the Canadian researchers who first identified and purified the animal insulin that saved not only her life but also the lives of many millions of other diabetics, is told by Seattle writer Thea Cooper in the new book, Breakthrough: Elizabeth Hughes, the Discovery of Insulin, and the Making of a Medical Miracle (St. Martin's Press, co-authored with Arthur Ainsberg). "A work that sometimes reads like a novel, with the characters brought to life through their ... thoughts, remarks and physical gestures ... A readable tale of medical achievement." - Kirkus Reviews.
