Such an important and heartbreaking book! This book is based on true stories from the 1960's. A home for unwed mothers in Canada, who takes in young women, calls them inmates, treats them like housemaids, allows no personal communication between each other or their families, gives them no instructions on impending births, and takes their babies from them when they are born. The other side of the story is The Jane network, a group of doctors who practice in secret behind closed doors doing abortions, fearing police raids and being caught. And the underside of it, the back street butchers of the time who killed and maimed women without a second thought. And the way this country is headed, they may all be back in business again. A very frightening thought.
