I would like nothing more than to sit in the forest with the Mender, drink tea, watch the goats, and take in all that she has to teach me.

This book is a timely, relevant and thought-provoking look at how the more things change, the more they stay the same. If you want to know why we march, read Red Clocks.

I was a little worried reading some of the reviews that this book was going to be some dry, depressing, rhetorical exercise. It definitely isn’t. What a fascinating exploration of a difficult topic, beautifully written and fairly complex. Captured the experience of both agonizing for a child and desperately not wanting one — sometimes at the same time — in a way I’ve rarely seen. Read the whole thing in three days. Highly recommend.
Interwoven storylines of several women living in a near future with severely restricted reproductive rights.
I picked this daily deal up hoping it would be like the handmaids tale and it’s not. While IVF and abortion are “outlawed” (and eventually so is single parenting) this is not what the story is about. It’s a fact but strangle not present. The story revolves around a woman who is trying to get pregnant but can’t and a teen who gets pregnant but doesn’t want to be, and a doctor trying to help them both. I made it sound more interesting than it was...
