It's the early 1960's and chemist Elizabeth Zott's all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel-prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with her mind. True chemistry results. But life is unpredictable and a few years later Elizabeth finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America's most beloved cooking show. Laugh-out-loud funny, shrewdly observant, and studded with a dazzling cast of supporting characters, Lessons in Chemistry is as original and vibrant as its protagonist.
