Story summaries

• Strong Medicine
• By Arthur Hailey
• In a tension-filled hospital room a doctor fights to save a life. At last, reluctantly, he tries the new, highly experimental drug urged on him by a young pharmaceutical saleswoman. She believes in the drug. Now that belief will be tested in the only way that matters... Once again Arthur Hailey unlocks the doors of a powerful industry to reveal the human dramas taking place inside. This is the story of Celia Jordan, of her tradition-shattering rise to the top of Felding-Roth Pharmaceuticals. And it is the story of the men around her: Andrew Jordan, the gifted doctor she marries; Sam Hawthorne, whose faith in Celia launches her career; Martin Peat-Smith, a young research scientist racing against time. Finally, it is the story of a terrible tragedy that rocks the industry, forcing Celia to confront an agonizing question: Can she save Felding-Roth without sacrificing every ideal she cherishes?


• Callanish
• By William Horwood
• Cages. Great cages all around. At first they frighten young Creggan, the London zoo's newest golden eagle. Then fear turns to hopeless despair... Never again will he see the rugged coats of his Scottish homeland, never soar through its glorious skies. But Minch, the old eagle kept beside him, will not let Creggan's spirit die. She is from Callanish, the most sacred site among golden eagles, and in thirty years of captivity she has never forgotten her pride, nor what freedom means. Somehow, she is sure, a chance for escape will come. And Creggan must be ready to seize it. An inspiring tale that will touch all those who love animals and believe in their right to be free.


• Who Has Seen the Wind
• By W. O. Mitchell
• In spite of the devastating effects of drought and the Depression on his small Canadian town, Brian O'Connal is surrounded by love and all the good things of boyhood--a faithful dog, a stout gang, and the sunlit sweep of prairie to play out the pleasures of childhood. But as he grows, small tragedies and, ultimately, a greater tragedy touch his existence and Brian, an intensively sensitive and seeking child, struggles to understand what still defeats learned men--the ultimate meaning of the cycle of life. Charged with a special people's humor and courage, this is a story of innocence and awareness, losing and gaining. And it is a story of a boy and the wind.


• Stillwatch
• By Mary Higgins Clark
• When pretty, auburn-haired Pat Traymore arrived in Washington, D.C., she had a number of goals in mind. One was to do a TV documentary on Senator Abigail Jennings, the woman most likely to become the next Vice President of the United States. Another was to uncover the truth about her own past. For ever since childhood, Pat has been haunted by memories of a family tragedy: vague memories that start to become clearer once she moves back into the house where her mother and father had died violently years ago. But as Pat sets out to document Senator Jennings' life--and unravel the mysteries of her own as well--she discovers that there is someone who will stop at nothing to see that the past stays buried. The first threats were frightening enough. But now that someone has actually found his way into her house. A house where death is no stranger...
