Description
"Everybody knew about Dr. Paul Sheffield. If you were a fellow physician, you sent him the cases you didn't dare handle. If you were a woman in trouble, you phoned him for a Saturday morning appointment. To some, he was a hero. To others, a convenience. But to crusading Father Robert Gellar, Paul Sheffield was a human cancer that had to be destroyed. And so Dr. Paul Sheffield was arrested. And put on trial. And suddenly an entire community began to find out more than it wanted to know about itself - and more than it dreamed possible about the stubborn, dedicated man they called The Abortionist." -- from back cover.
