No Perfect Mothers by Karen Spears Zacharias

No Perfect Mothers, written by Karen Spears Zacharias.

1920’s SCOTUS case re: Reproductive Rights, meets Charlottesville's Carrie Buck, who knows a thing or two about how hard some men will fight to gain control over a young girl's body. 

This story is important because it is history that isn't history—women still don't have sovereignty of their reproductive rights.  This story is propulsive because it gives us a character to root for.  This story is memorable because of Zacharias' command of language and insight into human nature.  No Perfect Mothers is a book that provides all the pleasures of a great novel and then some.
