She marries Henry Wickett, a shy medical student and the scion of a Boston Brahmin family. However, soon after their wedding, Henry abruptly quits medical school to create a mail-order patent medicine called Wickett's Remedy, and just as Lydia begins to adjust to her husband's new vocation, the infamous Spanish influenza epidemic of 1918 begins its deadly sweep across the world, irrevocably changing their lives. Meanwhile, a parallel narrative explores the world of QD Soda, the illegitimate offspring of Wickett's Remedy, stolen away by Henry Wickett's one-time business partner Quentin Driscoll, who goes about transforming it into a soft drink empire. 650 0 $a Irish American women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Influenza Epidemic, 1918-1919 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Patent medicines $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Widows. $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Historical fiction. 650 0 $a Audiobooks. 651 0 $a Boston (Mass.) $v Fiction. 939 $a 5488597 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160202030242.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=90DAB3EE2B0A11DE8AF32708A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
