Description
In a near-future America where access to abortion is heavily restricted, two Muslim teens, Laylah and Noor, are determined to make a difference. They're working on an illegal guide to abortion in Texas, but their project is fraught with challenges. As they navigate the precarious landscape of underground clinics and scarce supplies, they must also confront their own secrets and fears. With sparkling humor and warmth, this novel tells the story of two best friends fighting for what they believe in. Their bond is tested as they face obstacles that threaten to derail their plans, but they remain committed to each other and to their cause. This is a powerful exploration of activism, social justice, and the unbreakable bonds of female friendship. As Laylah and Noor work towards completing their guide, they're driven by a desire to help those in need. But as the stakes grow higher, they must confront the darker side of their fight for change. Will their determination be enough to overcome the obstacles ahead?
