The Antidote for Everything

A provocative new novel about how far one woman will go to save a friendship and battle against injustice from acclaimed author Kimmery Martin. Georgia Brown's profession as a urologist requires her to interact with plenty of naked men, but her romantic life has fizzled. The most important person in her life is her friend Jonah Tsukada, a funny, empathetic family medicine doctor who works at the same hospital in Charleston, South Carolina and who has become as close as family to her. Just after Georgia leaves the country for a medical conference, Jonah receives startling news: the hospital intends to fire him unless he agrees to stop providing medical care for the transgender patients in his practice. Angered by the hospital's actions, Georgia concocts a plan to persuade the board to reverse their decision regarding these patients. But when her scheme spirals out of control, Georgia realizes she could lose not only her career but also her closest friend.
