Take Your Medicine: A humorous women's fiction novel
(eBook)
Description
When Sam Stanton's father dies from prescription complications, she pulls up her big-girl undies and conspires 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 starts a holistic advice column challenging modern medicine. But it's 1970, and Sam's readers are wary to accept health advice from anyone but a man. After all, a proper woman followed men's orders. Except one reader 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 like the way Sam cures marital dry spells with horny goat weed, it's not called that for nothing! Or how she shares her home with a species-confused pony. Or when she befriends the mysterious new neighbors that nearly cause a riot. Soon Thomas falls for her unconventional ways, until Sam doses him with a tough pill to swallow: that her column is about to upheave the medical industry, along with women's roles in it. Thomas isn't the only jilted ego out to get Sam. When a detail surfaces about her father's death, Sam becomes a target scandalized, risking everything she's spoken out to save. Doused with humor, fortified with women empowerment, and starring an irresistibly quirky leading lady, it's "Lessons in Chemistry" meets "Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine" as one woman challenges orders to take her medicine (like a man), and overthrows convention instead.
