Three very different pregant women--Dierdre, a young law student abandoned by her lover; Treva, facing dangerous health risks; and Pepper, pregnant by a man she does not love--confront difficult decisions as they cope with the dramatic changes in their lives. Original.
Intense pull you in story that fleshes out the characters brought together by the heartbreaking choice of abortion. Without today's increasing liberal glamorization, I was able to appreciate and respect the desperate emotions that drove each woman to her decision. The slant was still pro choice, and while it didn't change my feelings on the subject at all, I enjoyed it for what it was: a compelling story.
Read this book when it first came out and really enjoyed it. Ms. Reed did a beautiful job making me care about these three women who are faced with this difficult decision, and discovering how each deals with the inevitable aftereffects.
(I also loved that she incorporated my hometown and surrounding areas into the book.)
Worth Worth to read. I couldn't put this book down. I read this few years ago. I'll definately read it again when I can in the future. Love the story line and a lot of emotions that these women had gone through.
