The Prescription

By Colette Brown

Can you love two men at the one time?If so, how do you choose between them? What if fate intervenes and makes the choice for you?Gerry Fraser is a thirty something pharmacist who apparently has a perfect life. She lives in a perfect house with her successful lawyer husband, Phil. She works in an upmarket branch of a multinational pharmacy chain and appears to have life under control. Yet her life is almost too perfect and she feels empty and shallow although she aspires to the lifestyle that was never part of her childhood in a very uninspiring cottage flat in Knightswood.Gerry isn't the best pharmacist as she tends to tell it as it is, has a wicked sense of humour and isn't really a 'people person'. For many years she has simply wanted to be a mum but her husband's demands, career and aspirations have always come first. When Phil finally decides that the time is right for them to have a family because it would enhance his reputation to be seen as a family man, Gerry is confused. She knows she wants a child. She just isn't sure that she wants one with Phil. On the same day that Phil makes his declaration, a connection to a patient in her pharmacy starts a journey that could lead to the end of her marriage.Danny Ferrie, lead singer of Eighties protest band SucksFake! has returned to his old Glasgow turf and needs to buy some heartburn medicine. A clash of wills ends in a cheeky wink that sends Gerry right back to her student days and reconnects her with her old imperfect self. Gerry battles with the two versions of herself: the perfect Virgo wife of 1993 and the feisty political student of 1981. But who will win? Will Gerry have the perfect baby to enhance her perfect life with Phil or will she give it all up for an Eighties heartthrob who bewitches her with his smile and humour? Is the choice really hers to make or is it all simply fated?Every prescription tells a story. Not all stories have happy endings.
