Beth Jaffe is a birthmother, activist, and author who led the effort to reform Montana’s adoption law. Her memoir brings raw honesty, humor, and heart to the complex topics of unplanned pregnancy, abortion, and adoption—subjects too often left in the shadows. Through her story, she challenges old narratives and offers a powerful new perspective on what it means to surrender, survive, and heal.
