His signature is on the right.

His teeth were very white and flashed when he talked or smiled. He moved gracefully and spoke with a voice that was deep and soft and musical.

Why did Jamie’s beautiful stepmother frantically defend him as she pushed into society? Were Jamie’s mistakes with patients due to an ambitious man’s carelessness? Or was there some hidden intent behind them—a desire to play God?
