A gripping and uplifting novel based on the true story of the Jane
Collective and the brave women who worked in the shadows for our right
to choose, from the USA Today bestselling author of The Paris
Bookseller.
Chicago, early 1970s. Who does a woman call when she needs help? Jane.
The best-known secret in the city, Jane is an underground health clinic
composed entirely of women helping women, empowering them to embrace
their futures by offering reproductive counseling and safe, illegal
abortions. Veronica, Jane’s founder, prides herself on the services she
has provided to thousands of women, yet the price of others’ freedom is
that she leads a double life. When she’s not at Jane, Veronica plays
the role of a conventional housewife—a juggling act that becomes even
more difficult during her own high-risk pregnancy.
Two more women in Veronica’s neighborhood are grappling with similar
disconnects. Margaret, a young professor at the University of Chicago,
secretly volunteers at Jane as she falls in love with a man whose
attitude toward his ex-wife increasingly disturbs her. Patty, who’s
long been content as a devoted wife and mother, has begun to sense that
something essential is missing from her life. When her runaway younger
sister, Eliza, shows up unexpectedly, Patty must come to terms with
what it really means to love and support a sister.
In this historic moment, when the personal was nothing if not
political, Veronica, Margaret, and Patty risk it all to help mothers,
daughters, sisters, and friends. With an awe-inspiring story and
appealing characters, All You Have to Do Is Call celebrates the power
of women coming together in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.
