One is a world of established wealth and power the other is one of hunger and adversity. Through Mayoso�s burning commitment to the value of the individual human life, these opposite worlds are interlocked as the novel moves from a Connecticut mansion to a hospital faced with scandal, to a cathedral confessional, to the bullet-spattered avenidas of Caracas, to an American courtroom shocked into silence. It�s an emotional sage of abortion versus the Catholic faith. 0aSurgeonsvFiction. 0aPharmaceutical industryvFiction. 7aPharmaceutical industry.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01060129 7aSurgeons.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01139336 7aFiction.2fast0(OCoLC)fst0142378708iOnline version:aDryer, Bernard V.
