Dear Readers,
Most books I read will teach me something, some set out to do that, others it is just part of the story. I have to admit that most fiction books that set out to teach you something can be dry. An Accidental Life by Pamela Ewen set out to tell us about a very dark side of life.
Jill Stanek is a real person, you can look her up online, I did. She took on the pro-abortionist. She testified in front of congress about live births after an abortion. She actually got a federal law changed to protect those babies, but it is not enforceable on the state levels. It is all part of know facts.
Pamela wanted to tell her story, but in a different way. So she wrote a fiction story set in New Orleans in 1982 where Peter Jacobs is facing the trial of a lifetime. His wife also finds her life spinning out of control. Everything is about to change.
This will not be an easy, light read. I think this book will leave more than a few people uncomfortable, including me. It is always nice to find a fiction book that is willing to take on a a powerful topic.
Happy Reading.
