title: The Oath
author: Chase, Lindsay
description: After witnessing the painful death of her mother at the hands of an incompetent physician, Catherine Stone vows to become a doctor  --  at a price.
  
  Disowned by her family, an outcast in the eyes of society, Catherine must face the prejudices of a male-dominated medical profession as well as the ignorance of many of her patients; endure the outrageous scandal of public controversy; and even risk her life in order to doctor the women who need her so desperately.
  
  But she has needs of her own  --  the needs of a passionate woman  --  and when her wealthy, possessive husband forces her to choose between medicine and his love, Catherine must look into her heart and make the boldest sacrifice of all.
