Reviews
"Choice Words is a landmark anthology of writing about abortion that gives weight and dignity to all sides and experiences of this controversial issue."
"The anthology's contents are confessional, funny, graphic, stolid, absurdist, cagey, heartbreaking, vitriolic and on it goes, the approaches to the subject at hand as varied as human experience."
"Eloquent contributions to the literature on a deeply contested issue."
"In these disturbing times, an open conversation about abortion in all its forms is of the utmost importance."
