Midwest Connections Pick“Lab Girl . . . compelled me to ponder the astonishing grace and gumption of a seed . . . and it introduced me to a deeply inspiring woman—a scientist so passionate about her work I felt myself vividly with her on every page. This is a smart, enthralling, and winning debut.” —Cheryl Strayed, bestselling author of Wild
Midwest Connections Pick“Agee’s emotionally rich tale is as wild and sprawling as the Midwestern plains . . . The story’s several parts—gritty West-ern, family saga, mystery—work together for a memorable tale of heartbreak and redemption.” —Publishers Weekly
