I originally set out to read her more recent book: Rise of the Rocket Girls, but my county library system did not have it. They had Cure. So I got it. I am a science nerd and medical stories have always informed my work. Holt is a bench scientist and a medical researcher. She ably translates the jargon of science, especially when it comes to genetics and microbiology in such a way that the story she told was a page turner. After each chapter, I wanted to hear more about how the discovery of a functional cure came about. But especially about the two Berlin patients, their doctors who cared for them, and the scientists who toiled to figure out how it all worked. This was a good read. Now on to Rocket Girls.

A young molecular biologist at the forefront of HIV research, Nathalia Holt tells the historic, multilayered, and compassionate story of two patients--each known in medical literature as the Berlin Patient--and their young research-minded doctors. The backdrop is nothing less than a revolution in cultural attitudes and medical thinking. These two patients' disparate cures came twelve years apart: the first in 1996 from an experimental cancer drug, the other in 2008 from a bone marrow transplant of cells with a particular genetic mutation. Holt connects the molecular dots of these two cases for the first time, providing insight into one of the most important medical breakthroughs of our generation.--From publisher description.
