Remedies by Kate Ledger
Simon and Emily look like a couple that has it all. Simon is a respected physician, one of Baltimore's "Top Docs," with a burgeoning private practice. His wife, Emily, shines professionally as a partner in a premier public relations firm. They have a beautiful house and a healthy daughter. But their marriage is scarred by old, hidden wounds. Even as Simon tends his patients' ills, and Emily spins away her clients' mistakes, they can't seem to do the
same for themselves or their relationship.
