What a book! What a ride!
Viola Davis’ narration made the experience even more potent.
A black woman circuit Judge in rural Alabama is presiding over an abortion case and all the crazies come out. She is threatened every way possible to recuse herself numerous times and she adamantly refuses. The case draws national attention and is symbolic of the intersection between private health decisions, religion and law.
The story of how the abortion came to be is sad and sadly not a rare thing which will break your heart.
5 stars! I’d recommend this to everyone.
