4.75
This book was such an important read that is loosely based on a true story of forced sterilization of young, poor, Black women in the South. The story is heartbreaking and one that is important to recognize is still occurring in instances. The only reason I did not rate this 4.75 is because I would have liked a little more about Anne and Civil's decision.
