“Tough Pill to Swallow” is a simultaneous journey of two twenty-something young women in Florida, a teenage anti-government zealot, a depressed chemist, and a homeless woman in Pennsylvania, and an emotionally wounded man from a rural part of Northern New York. Collectively these seemingly unrelated individuals are faced with the unavoidable issues of deception and greed at all levels of government and every layer of the food and health care industry.  They are all confronted with the inescapable yet often hidden repercussions of the current system.  For one the characters the ultimate price is paid.  In this story of idealism, good intentions, deception, fear, aggregious discoveries, and death the characters all experience the same spiritual epiphany:  each individuals personal accountability for their own experience and the current state of the world.  While uncovering unspeakable things and plotting revenge the characters in the book all ultimately figure out that the government and other oppressive institutions are only the physical manifestations of our own egoic structures being mirrored back to us for the purpose of healing.  Each character also figures out that through this accountability comes compassion, non-judgment and unconditional love and they come to understand the  power to change the world that comes from living these universal truths.
