A good book if you know nothing about the real “Jane” Norma McCorvey. This book is well written and does provide great insight into why Roe vs. Wade was such a landmark case. However, in later years “Jane” did quite a lot of work to have the Roe vs. Wade verdict overturned. This, for me, made it almost impossible to appreciate the book for what it is, a conversation starter for an emotionally charged issue.
