Take Your Medicine

A hilarious, empowering romp through 1970s medicine, media, and one woman's mission to rewrite the rules-prescription not required. Samantha Stanton has had enough. After her father dies from complications caused by a supposedly safe prescription, Sam isn't content to grieve quietly. Armed with little more than a greenhouse, a typewriter, and a fierce sense of justice, she reinvents herself as the first holistic health advice columnist in a world where men still wear the white coats-and women are told to stay in the kitchen. But Sam's natural remedies and no-nonsense advice are shaking up more than just her readers' marriages. She's caught the attention of Thomas Cook, the powerful pharma exec whose charm is only rivaled by his ruthlessness. And he's not the only one watching Sam. When a former flame returns with a warning-and a secret about her father's death-Sam realizes she's not just fighting for justice. She's fighting for the truth. And maybe her life. Hilarious, heartfelt, and unexpectedly twisty, Take Your Medicine is a bold tale of one woman's fight to heal a broken system-and herself-one wild remedy at a time. WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: "If there's one book you absolutely must read, this is it. Hilarious, original, and page-turning feel-good entertainment, I laughed until I cried and cried until I laughed. Every woman (and man, if he knows what's good for him) must read this!" "Superbly written, deliciously feminist, and darkly witty! It's a whole new genre of women's fiction blended with mystery that we've been waiting for."
