Overturned!
The year is 2021, and abortion is illegal in the United States. A young, unidentified female is found dead from an alleged "termination" in an abandoned tenement. The girl is identified as the daughter of a conservative, right-wing senator. "Overturned!" takes an extremely controversial issue and wraps it in fiction. The novel attempts to answer the question, "What if?" and finds that we should be very careful what we ask for, as we may actually get it. "Overturned!" does not take a moral position but unravels the complicated emotions humans face when personally dealing with such issues. A senator who helped outlaw abortion is faced with the devastating news that his only daughter died from an illegal termination. As the case is investigated, we find that love is the ultimate factor in transcending all political, religious, and social opinions. "Overturned!" is a political thriller that combines the business of politics, social reform, and conspiracy into a story that brings us full circle on the issue of reproductive rights.
