| | Synopsis
|
"As a child, Katherine Johnson loved to count. She counted the
steps on the road, the number of stars in the sky, the number of
dishes and spoons she washed in the kitchen sink. Boundless, curious,
and excited by calculations, young Katherine longed to know as much
as she could about math, about the universe. From Katherine's early
beginnings as a gifted student to her heroic accomplishments as a
prominent mathematician at NASA, this is the story of a
ground-breaking American icon who not only calculated the course of
moon landings but, in turn, saved lives"—Publisher.
