She must tell the whole story before arriving at the girl's death.Estela came from the countryside, leaving her mother behind, to work for the señor and señora when their only child was born. They wanted a housemaid: "smart appearance, full time" their ad said. She wanted to make enough money to support her mother and return home. For seven years, Estela cleaned their laundry, wiped their floors, made their meals, kept their secrets, witnessed their fights and frictions, raised their daughter. She heard the rats scrabbling in the ceiling, saw the looks the señor gave the señora; she knew about the poison in the cabinet, the gun, the daughter's rebellion as she grew up, the mother's coldness, the father's distance. She saw it all. After a series of shocking betrayals and revelations, Estela stops speaking, breaking her silence only now, to tell the story of how it all fell apart. Is this a story of revenge or a confession? Class warfare or a cautionary tale?

Summary: "In a stirring and succinct examination of post-Roe America, "one of the most successful and visible feminists of her generation" (The Washington Post) takes on what's become the country's most resonant political issue. In her most urgent book yet, New York Times bestselling author Jessica Valenti shines a light on the conservative assault on women's freedom, cutting through the misinformation and overwhelm to inform, engage, and enrage.

Abortion gives voice to women's frustration and outrage in a moment when they're fed up with being talked over and diminished. And in an election year when abortion is dominating the national conversation, Valenti provides the language, facts, and context readers need to feel confident talking about the attacks on their bodies and freedom. Abortion is a handbook for the overwhelming majority of Americans who support abortion rights, whether they're seasoned activists or those just starting to learn. With the wit, expertise, and blunt moral clarity that's made her writing popular for decades, Valenti offers an essential manifesto in an urgent moment"--
