Ok, full disclosure. I wrote it. And it was one of the most enjoyable things I have ever done. So... five stars!

I didn't like this book. It feels a little far-fetched to imagine hundreds of late-term aborted babies spending their last breaths in a metal bowl in a surgical suite. The premise that they require rescue isn't unfair, and the topic probably needs evaluated, but I didn't like the tone of scathing disgust for or from some of the characters. It made it more and more difficult to be sympathetic or interested in their point of view. Characteristics were often stereotyped, e.g. the masculine and cold/calculating woman who would never listen to another point of view and always threatened those who disagreed. Maybe I just don't like that kind of story because I prefer to be involved with individuals who are more than one-dimensional in my personal life, as well as in my fiction.

A story with a theme. What happens when abortion fails?

A newborn is laid aside to die with no care provided because its abortion had failed. When the baby is taken from the room where it lay abandoned the hospital calls it kidnapping. The kidnapping done by a group the FBI has been seeking for more than a decade leaves the public outraged and afraid.

The kidnappers call this a rescue and the saving of a life. They contact journalist Morgan Wallace to help make their story public.

The Justice Department responds by calling it domestic terrorism. And now it is a political football …

This is a beautiful story. Well researched.

I didn't think that I would like this book much but it surprised me and I actually really liked it. It is a fast read and the content in this book makes a person wonder. I would recommend this book.
