This historical fiction really had me thinking about how unsafe abortion were during the time period before legalization. I am not an advocate of abortion because of my belief but this graphical account of an abortion gave me the shakes. That was the most riveting part of the book. I didn't like the way the story ended and I felt it took a long time to take off. Overall, it was a pleasant enough read. I wanted to finish it to see how things turned out. I am glad I read it though.
