STAFF PICK FROM MAMIE:

I fell in love with Julia Franks' beautiful writing when I read her novel Over the Plain Houses several years ago, and I was excited to hear that she has a new book coming out in June 2023. The Say So tells the story of two women who are pregnant and single. The first woman, Edie, faces her dilemma in the 1950’s when out of wedlock pregnancy was handled with stealth and a good dose of shame. The second woman, Meera, becomes pregnant in the 1980’s. Her options are many but so are societal pressures. This book brings to the surface the emotional and physical suffering that unwed pregnant women faced in the last century (I still have a tough time saying that!). Timely and full of hard truths, The Say So is commentary and a compelling story wrapped in one. As are most of the books I read, this one will make for a terrific book club discussion.
