"It would take a heart of stone not to be moved by the oral histories of these women and by the courage and candor with which they express themselves." --The Washington Post
"A remarkably well-researched and accomplished book." --The New York Times Book Review
"A wrenching, riveting book." --Chicago Tribune
The astonishing untold history of the million and a half women who surrendered children for adoption due to enormous family and social pressure in the decades before Roe v. Wade.
In this deeply moving and myth-shattering work, Ann Fessler brings out into the open for the first time the hidden social history of adoption before Roe v. Wade - and its lasting legacy. An adoptee who was herself surrendered during those years and recently made contact with her mother, Ann Fessler brilliantly brings to life the voices of more than a hundred women, as well as the spirit of those times, allowing the women to tell their stories in gripping and intimate detail.
