| Abstract | "Their bodies. Their choice. Their friendship. Their fight. When America bans all abortion and the fight for bodily autonomy is taken underground, Laylah and Noor want to be part of the resistance. After graduation, Laylah plans to become an OB-GYN, and Noor an investigative journalist. In the meantime, they're writing an essential guide to getting an abortion. It's illegal and dangerous. What else are two perfectly respectable Muslim teens supposed to do? But what if it's not that simple? What happens if the underground abortion network is corrupt? What happens when it gets harder and harder to get safe medication, supplies, or help? And what happens when the need gets much more personal? Seema Yasmin's searing speculative novel set in an America not too distant from our own follows two friends, fierce sisters, navigating the most impossible choices about their lives, their bodies, and their future." -- Jacket flap. |
