Idealistic go-getter, Allie Kramer, sparkles into the pharmaceutical industry with high hopes then has a series of powerful experiences that shock her onto her spiritual path. Based on the authors' experience selling a drug that was recalled for increasing mortality rates in patients, Tough Pill to Swallow follows a cast of colorful characters whose worlds are woven together through synchronicity as they dive deep into science, age-old and current human dilemmas, love, heartbreak, and the joy and transcendence of spiritual solutions.
