Author Description

"This book is about CHOICE. Choice is the Soul of Liberty. Choice is the Heart of our Democracy. Choice is the bane of autocrats, of theocrats. Forty-nine years ago, the Supreme Court recognized Choice as a fundamental liberty. Autocrats and theocrats have been fighting back ever since. With the overturn of Roe v.

People demand Choice, not just in reproductive rights, but in our lives. So enjoy these forty-nine uplifting works from Elizabeth Ann Scarborough, Jane Yolen, Jim Wright, Adam-Troy Castro, Samantha Bryant, and more.
