Darrell, Mala, and Jack are three quirky characters who have an equally unusual dream-to transform the world through the alchemical power of pharmacy. Just as pharmacists work on an elevated platform, in their own way, Darrell, Mala, and Jack were born for the stage.
While growing up in a small, backwards American town, their outlandish behavior often lands them in a heap of trouble. However, whether it's leading a bra burning protest outside their high school, upending a show trial when one of them is accused of slapping a teacher, or an impromptu midnight performance in an abandoned pharmacy on the wrong side of town, these lifelong friends are determined to abide by their principles and their dreams no matter what.
As Tiny Little Pharmacists follows this trio from childhood to adulthood, the narrative is as unconventional as its protagonists. Not only does it extend hundreds of years into the past, linking the practice of pharmacy with the persecution of witches, it also reaches thousands of years into the future where pharmacists are being exterminated by the evil American Fried Chicken corporation.
In a world that dismisses pharmacists as glorified pill counters, soon to become obsolete, this novel flips the script. Prepare for a wild ride through history, rebellion, and the heart of pharmacy itself. After reading this book, you'll never look at pharmacists-or their craft-the same way again.
