1973 Montgomery Alabama where Civil is a young idealistic nurse working at a women's health clinic that serves the poor community mainly black women. She is excited to be helping those most in need although when she is given her first case which is to administer birth control shots to two little girls alarm bells begin to ring. Civil takes the family under her wing and works hard to make their lives easier well above her role at the clinic. When a tragic event takes place under her watch Civil takes on those in power all the way to Washington. Dual timelines share the events at the clinic and later as Civil goes back years later to revisit her past.This riveting story is based on true events and is yet another example of the abuse of poor people at the hands of those in authority offering help and delivering deception. A heartfelt tale that will resonate with readers interested in the Civil Rights movement as well as those who enjoy the strong women and men behind the scenes who risked everything for justice. 4 1/2 stars
