Synopsis
The future is now. Roe v. Wade is history.
Abortion is becoming illegal state by state, with the South leading the way. Virginia is the latest domino to fall.
Mollie O’Shay, a retired nurse-midwife from California, packs her bags for Richmond to work in an underground abortion clinic. She starts seeing clients an hour after she steps off the plane. Soon she meets Toni, an alluring, possibly gun-toting anthropology professor. But Mollie isn’t quite who she appears to be, and secrets from her past are about to catch up with her, jeopardizing everyone involved in the clinic.
Featuring a racially diverse, multigenerational and multigendered cast of characters, The Midwife's In Town presents a chilling but inspiring picture of what a post-Roe United States might look like.
“The mysteries unfold one after the other in this fast-paced novel, with the tension interlaced with laugh-aloud humor, and a lesbian romance to boot. A thoroughly enjoyable read.”
— Barbara Ridley, retired nurse practitioner, author of When It's Over: A Novel
“It's the near future, Roe v Wade is overturned, and a group of activists bring the feminist reproductive rights movement full circle. I wish this book weren't necessary, but it is. It’s also lively, smart, and totally satisfying.”
— Ellen Meeropol, author of Her Sister's Tattoo
“Mollie’s journey takes us on a harrowing, hilarious ride full of all-too-real dangers. At 70, this retired nurse brings commitment, perspective, and a wry sense of humor to breaking bad laws for all the right reasons. Entertaining, educational, and timely as f**k.”
— MB Austin, author of the Maji Rios novels
“Roe v Wade has been overturned; abortion providers are murderers, and dykes and other gender rebels are unwelcome. A crew of mostly queer BIPOC feminist activists in Richmond VA—among them a radical gender scholar—pool their collective energies to help desperate young girls end unwanted pregnancies. Our heroine, a retired nurse from out west and also an aging Jewish lesbian, is drawn into a hot romance almost on arrival. Both throwback and fast-forward, hilarious and alarming, this is a mystery novel with a sharp political edge. Kate Raphael is a master plotter—keeping us guessing and absorbed till the very end. Keep this book by your bed and you will lose a LOT of sleep.”
— Lise Weil, author of In Search of Pure Lust
