Her husband humiliated her at an awards ceremony in front of everyone. Natasha responded by touch...
What does a woman do when her husband betrays her right on stage—in front of her colleagues, her boss, the entire professional world she's spent twenty years building? She doesn't fall. She moves forward. But where to?
Natasha Sokolova, a surgeon with twenty years of experience and a "Surgeon of the Year" award winner, didn't expect the evening of her triumph to become the hardest night of her life.
