Overview
A courageous woman's search for the truth, the cause of her blindness, and those responsible -- this is a true story about a tenacious young couple who persevered in their fight against Big Pharma hoping to save the lives of thousands of childbearing women. Using the power of our legal system she, her husband, a young trial lawyer and his team, took on the largest pharmaceutical corporation in America, and fought against all odds to protect a woman's right to know of the life threatening risks of the oral contraceptive -- ""The Pill."" This is one journey of how product liability litigation can save lives and diminish human misery. It illustrates the tremendous courage and tenacity that is required of the victims, their trial lawyers, and often the judges and juries in the search for the truth.

Reviews
""This is a true story of a courageous woman rendered blind because a drug company hid the truth, and a courageous young lawyer who through our justice system heroically battled overwhelming odds to prove it. It is a significant and inspiring book which all who use the American health system, especially women, should read. They owe a debt of gratitude to Sal Liccardo.""--William Whitehurst, Past President of The International Academy of Trial Lawyers, The Texas Trial Lawyers Association, & Registered Pharmacist ""A courageous true story written by a highly regarded, esteemed trial lawyer. This book reveals a courageous trial lawyer and an equally courageous young woman, as his client, search for the truth about the ""Pill"". It further demonstrates the power of a jury to make the world a safer place. Having spent my life supporting the right to trial by jury, I heartily encourage reading this enlightening book."" --Ron Rouda, J.D., Past National President of the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA)
