The Midwife's In Town - Paperback

by Kate Jessica Raphael (Author)

The future is now. Roe v. Wade is history.

Abortion is becoming illegal state by state, with the South leading the way. Virginia is the latest domino to fall.

Mollie O'Shay, a retired nurse-midwife from California, packs her bags for Richmond to work in an underground abortion clinic. She starts seeing clients an hour after she steps off the plane. Soon she meets Toni, an alluring, possibly gun-toting anthropology professor. But Mollie isn't quite who she appears to be, and secrets from her past are about to catch up with her, jeopardizing everyone involved in the clinic.

Featuring a racially diverse, multigenerational and multigendered cast of characters, The Midwife's In Town presents a chilling but inspiring picture of what a post-Roe United States might look like.
