'Haunting, wild, and quiet at once. A shimmering look at
motherhood, in all gothic pain and glory. I could not stop
reading.' Lisa Taddeo, author of Three Women A harrowing account of
one woman's reckoning with life, death and choice in Trump's
America. For readers of Educated and Hillbilly Elegy. In 2017,
Christa Parravani had recently moved her family from California to
West Virginia. Surviving on a teacher's salary, she was already
raising two young children with her husband, screenwriter Anthony
Swofford. Another pregnancy, a year after giving birth to her
second child, came as a shock. Christa had a history of ectopic
pregnancies and was worried that she wouldn't be able to find
adequate medical care. She immediately requested a termination -
but her doctor refused to help. The only doctor who would perform
an abortion made it clear that this would be illicit, not condoned
by her colleagues or their community. In exploring her own choice,
or rather in discovering her lack of it, Christa reveals the
desperate state of female healthcare in contemporary America. 'A
brutally honest, rollercoaster of a journey that left me
championing her bravery.' Esther Freud 'I will never forget this
book. Read it. This is all I can say.' Rachel Louise Snyder
'Stunningly good' The Bookseller 'Everyone should read this book'
