Jerry Caple and Shelly and Jack Anderson, authors of "Nettles County"

For medical student Margo Drummer, saving lives is her passion. But when she finds herself in trouble with the law, can she save her own?

With the “one-hundred-day law” preventing late-term abortions in Nettles County, women’s pregnancies are strictly monitored, and any woman responsible for terminating them is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Finding herself with a positive pregnancy test, Margo is both shocked and confused—and later discovers she may have never been pregnant at all. But when her mother-in-law believes Margo aborted the baby instead, she secretly reports her to the authorities.

The story of Nettles Country covers her trial, woven with humor, crimes, deceit, and power struggles relevant in today's political unrest, especially concerning abortion rights.

Them with you.
Love,
Tam
