Mercy Street by Jennifer Haigh
4.0

This is a novel for 21st century America. Author introduces us to a shut in Catholic injured in a construction accident, a women’s health center counselor, a weed dealer with an exit plan, and a radicalized antiabortion activist—and weaves their stories together with great intrigue.

The closing paragraphs lost the fifth star. I am surprised that Claudia would leave the reader with thoughts looking backwards—about her neglectful mother Deb, and not towards her future.
