The Very Best of Care
New York, 2012. A young mother stumbles on a disturbing secret – the health system is so broken that the lives of newborns and the unborn are no longer safe. Sophie Young is forced to deliver her tiny two-pound baby boy, three and a half months early, barely old enough to survive. Caught in the labyrinth of hospital secrecy, Sophie meets the dark side of modern medicine: corruption, cover up, and conspiracy.
A prominent physician has joined forces with big pharma to exploit the sick and vulnerable. Through the twists and turns of this suspenseful medical thriller, Sophie races to bring the guilty to justice in order to save her son’s life.
In the end, Sophie has one message for her enemy: it’s a law of nature – never come between a mother and her child.
