The author recounts the parallel stories of the men and women who were present in a Mississippi abortion clinic on the fateful day when a shooter opened fire. The novel is written in reverse time, starting with the aftermath of the shooting and winding back to the reason each of the people entered the clinic. This story is about women's rights, pro-life activism, and just how far a person felt he had to go to make his voice heard. Jodi Picoult at her best! ~ Reviewed by Suzanne Rice
