Stem cells that cure cancer, but only when farmed from the fully-grown fetus. Black market mayhem, mother-hen heroine, and lawyer-doctor lover team in treacherous maze.
I found my girlfriend in the garage -- door closed, motor running. I dialed 911, dragged her outside, and started CPR, but by the time paramedics arrived, she was gone.
That was twenty-five years ago, at a time when I was already overburdened with what would prove to be the strangest case of my legal career.
I went into a tailspin, and so did the case. We both survived, but the whole affair would continue to haunt me until I finally put it to rest by writing From Which We Stem.
It’s the story of an estranged couple – a trial attorney and his childless doctor-wife – in a fight for dear life. Ruthless men running a shady surrogate mother scheme are sacrificing fully grown fetuses in order to sell their cancer curing embryonic stem cells on the black market. Somebody has to stop them. Intrigue abounds and a lawsuit leads to an explosive jury trial, while lawyer and doctor rekindle their love, and make their own little miracle of life.
