Take Your Medicine
by Pamela CraneDoused with humor, fortified with women empowerment, and starring an irresistibly quirky leading lady, Lessons in Chemistry meets Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine as one woman refuses orders to take her medicine (like a man) and overthrows convention instead.When Sam Stanton’s father dies from prescription complications, she pulls up her big-girl undies and demands to hold the drug company responsible. As her father always said, if you want to take down the man, you’ve got to fight like one. So she converts her great room into a greenhouse and becomes the first holistic advice columnist to challenge modern medicine. But it’s 1970, and Sam’s readers are wary to accept health advice from anyone but a man.Except one person takes an obsessive interest in Sam’s herbal remedies: Thomas Cook, her pharmaceutical adversary with more money than J. Paul Getty, and a reach long enough to squash Sam’s unconventional ways...like the way Sam cures marital dry spells with horny goat weed—it’s not called that for nothing! Even Thomas can't resist her unconventional ways, until Sam doses him with a tough pill to swallow: that her column is upheaving the medical industry, along with women’s roles in it.Thomas isn’t the only jilted ego out to get Sam. When a disturbing detail mysteriously surfaces about her father’s death, Sam becomes a target scandalized, risking everything she’s spoken out to save.WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:"If there's one book you absolutely must read, this is it.
