Without Exception is an unflinching call for freedom by way of abortion rights
"A story told with honesty. I thank Pam Houston for this timely and timeless book"
--CAMILLE T. DUNGY, Soil: The Story of a Black Mother's Garden
Written with equal parts candor and lyricism, Pam Houston illuminates the interconnected histories of abortion in the United States and in her own life during the decades when Roe v. Wade was the law of the land. Houston guides us through the shifting landscapes of politics, the law, and self-determination in a country where access to medical care and the power to determine your own destiny are increasingly--and once again--dependent on geography and circumstance.
