Summary: Charles Stephen wends his way through "Sojourner Truth's America" by Margaret Washington, a substantial biography of the former slave and her fight for women's rights and against slavery. Stephen also reflects on "The Day We Found the Universe" by Marcia Bartusiak, the story of scientists - well-known and obscure - and the discoveries that shape our current knowledge of the nature of the universe. Third, Stephen examines Giles Blunt's "No Such Creature," a new thriller set in a thief-eat-thief world.
