USA TODAY bestselling author Pamela Crane brings her trademark twists to laugh-out-loud women's fiction in this unputdownable new novel.
Doused with humor, fortified with women empowerment, and starring an irresistibly quirky leading lady, one woman challenges 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 she cures marital dry spells with horny goat weed-it's not called that for nothing! But Sam is about to dose him with a tough pill to swallow: 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 as her old flame reemerges, bringing a warning. When a disturbing detail mysteriously surfaces about her father's death, she becomes a target scandalized, risking everything she's spoken out to save.

"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." - reader review ★★★★★
