What do a cardiologist and a dominatrix have in common? They're both intelligent and powerful women. They both rely on experience and intuition to uncover root causes. And they both aim to heal (or heel, as the case may be). At least, that's how it works in The Clinic. The Clinic follows Faith Wells, M.D.'s climb from a struggled childhood to a Top Doc in the Philadelphia region. Now she's giving back by opening a free clinic that specializes in women's health to save the lives of others in place of the life she couldn't save: her mother's. When her nonprofit needs a financial infusion, Faith's medical staff convinces her to offer unconventional mind-body care: a dominatrix service in "the dungeon" of the clinic. Having a doctor in the house offers wealthy clients a trusted, private insurance should things go awry. And they do. The ambition that drove Faith to escape her past continues to be her heartbeat to give her children everything she never had. But now, it threatens to leave her with nothing, once again. Will Faith realize soon enough that the only thing that matters are matters of the heart? The Clinic follows the award-winning novel, The Playground, in the "Secret Lives of Moms" series. The series offers readers a relatable and poignant perspective on what it means to be a wife and mother—and the lengths women will go to give their families the best they can offer, even at their own detriment. Because we're all a little sick.
