Although she amazed
Argentina at the end of 19 century as the first woman to become a doctor,
Cecilia Grierson is haunted by disturbing dreams related to the past and
emotional relationships that abruptly ended. She truly believes she had managed
to leave those traumas behind, but when chance brings her first love back into
her life, she wants closure. Nevertheless, Cecilia falls into a relationship
that defies conventions, until she finally reaches her own understanding of the
power of love, the meaning of her life and of who she really is besides an
exceptional physician.
Standing Tall is a moving
story set in the progressive era of the Gilded Age, a time where many were

fight for their rights. From the Pampas to Buenos Aires and to Paris, Standing
Tall reveals much of the vibrant culture and realities of life in South
America, in a book replete with historical details, personal conflicts and
love.
