#1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
"Clever and satisfying...has the potential to remain pertinent for
generations." --Associated Press
This "powerful debut" (Hello! Canada) for fans of Kristin Hannah
and Jennifer Chiaverini about three women whose lives are bound together
by a long-lost letter, a mother's love, and a secret network of women
fighting for the right to choose--inspired by true stories.
2017: When Angela Creighton discovers a mysterious letter containing a
life-shattering confession, she is determined to find the intended
recipient. Her search takes her back to the 1970s when a group of daring
women operated an illegal underground abortion network in Toronto known
only by its whispered code name: Jane.
1971: As a teenager, Dr. Evelyn Taylor was sent to a home for "fallen"
women where she was forced to give up her baby for adoption--a trauma
she has never recovered from. Despite harrowing police raids and the
constant threat of arrest, she joins the Jane Network as an abortion
provider, determined to give other women the choice she never had.
1980: After discovering a shocking secret about her family,
twenty-year-old Nancy Mitchell begins to question everything she has
ever known. When she unexpectedly becomes pregnant, she feels like she
has no one to turn to for help. Grappling with her decision, she locates
"Jane" and finds a place of her own alongside Dr. Taylor within the
network's ranks, but she can never escape the lies that haunt her.
Looking for Jane is "a searing, important, beautifully written novel
about the choices we all make and where they lead us--as well as a wise
and timely reminder of the difficult road women had to walk not so long
ago" (Kristin Harmel, New York Times bestselling author).
