About a doctor who violated the innocent trust of unknowing naive woman.

It's horrible that it happened, but great that he was brought to justice. Great read for lovers of the true crime genre.

Frightening. Gripping. Amazing.
This is the true story of a doctor who was accused of raping many of his patients.
Most of the town believed him.
Very few people believed the victims, all 100+ of them.
I am sad for these women, who fought for justice. The victims lost jobs, husbands, faith, pride, and family. My heart goes out to them.

I couldn't put the book down.
