This story is told from the perspective of 4 different women (The biographer, wife, daughter, mender) all living in the same small town, with bits of a 5th person thrown in, an explorer from the 1800s. At first I found the story a little confusing and difficult to get into as we jump perspectives , but once I was able to associate the names with the descriptors of the characters and see how their stories overlapped I began to enjoy the story more.
This story definitely follows these women living in a potential future Roe V. Wade has been overturned , IVF is illegal and in order to adopt there must be two parents in the home. We see how these women's stories intermingle and how they all stand up for what they believe in and what is best for them as person even if society is telling them its wrong.
