The day before the launch of my newest title, The Disquieting Death of Emma Gill, marked 51 years since Roe v. Wade guaranteed all Americans the constitutional right to an abortion. Explaining why the US Supreme Court overturned Roe in its 2022 Dobbs decision, Justice Alito falsely wrote that the right to abortion is not rooted in American history or traditions. Shepherd.com, a readers’ website that’s a great alternative to Goodreads, invited me to assemble these book recommendations, which prove Alito wrong. You can find the list and my notes on each book here on the Shepherd site.
I’m excited about the upcoming launch of my book at P&T Knitwear, a terrific independent bookstore on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. The event is a benefit for The Brigid Alliance, which brings people from states with abortion bans over long distances to New York for abortion care. Get your tickets here, or just head over to P&T.
