Follow on Google News | Political Thriller Adds Book Club Bonus!New Feature Enables All to Join the Discussion: Is This Novel a Political Thriller about Reproductive Rights, or a Preview of Our Future?
By: Hannah Cassidy / Donna Albrecht It seems as if it is a crime to take control of a woman’s body without her consent—unless you’re a legislator—then you can make it the law. In her thriller, A Friend with Friends, ‘what if?’ is the starting point for a heart-felt story about where the consequences of government control over women’s bodies can lead. Strong, relatable characters go where heroes go; willing to risk everything for what is right—in defiance of the law. The story: No one has escaped from a Facility. Period. Pregnant young women are incarcerated in these places under the Social Responsibility Law until they deliver their babies. Politicians promote this as a way of protecting the pre-born and saving money on welfare and other social services. The reality isn't nearly that positive. A woman's only hope is to find the Squad before someone gets suspicious and reports her to the government. Based on Harriet Tubman’s Underground Railroad, the Squad helps the young women escape and set up a new identity in a way that protects them and their babies. When secret Squad member, Jennie, discovers that her younger sister, Emmie, has been taken to a Facility, she vows to do the impossible. Will she be able to rescue Emmie from the Facility before it's too late? Hannah Cassidy is the pen name that award winning nonfiction author Donna Albrecht uses for her fiction. She lives near San Francisco with her husband and border collie.
