GP Paula Kaczmarek is haunted by the shocking murder of her close friend Stacey and her children by Stacey’s estranged husband in Paula’s home where she sought refuge. When a woman comes to her with injuries that could be signs of domestic violence, Paula wants to stop the violence from escalating, but what can do she do?
A riveting, provocative novel about women’s fury, traumatic grief, new love, deep friendship, and the preciousness of life, The Family Doctor asks the questions: Should you cling to faith in a flawed system, or take control the only way you can? Can a good person justify taking a life to save a life?
