Synopsis "Misfoldings"

The story of a breakthrough in medical science is woven into a work of fiction that takes the central female character on an emotional journey of self-discovery. Two alternating narratives coalesce when the two main characters meet toward the evening of their lives. Julia Black has made her husband's comfort her main objective, but cancer destroys her marriage. Despite scars, both physical and emotional, she finds strength and determination to flourish with the loving support of Fiona Jefferies, a trusted friend. A brilliant but self-centred scientist, Stanley Posner, is ostracised by his colleagues over evidence he gives to an inquest and cannot complete vital medical research until help comes from an unexpected source. Fiona, who worked with Stanley, helps bring him and Julia together. With one gentle touch, Stanley proves his love. How will Julia act when her love is put to the test? This work is inspired by the optimism and altruism of Maggie Keswick Jencks and by the scientific achievement of Stanley Prusiner (Nobel laureate) who discovered Prions, the cause of Mad Cow Disease and CJD, its human equivalent. It is set mainly in Cambridge, UK.
