Journalist Joshua Prager tells the story of Norma McCorvey - 'Jane Roe' of Roe v. Wade - and the three daughters she placed for adoption before and during her famous case. One of those daughters was 'Baby Roe' herself, whose identity Prager discovered and who speaks publicly for the first time. The book is not primarily about abortion law but about the people caught up in it: McCorvey's difficult childhood, her complicated relationship with the lawyers who used her case, her later conversion to anti-abortion activism, and the lives of her children who grew up in the shadow of an identity they didn't choose. Prager conducted extensive interviews with McCorvey before her death and with family members, lawyers, and activists, creating an intimate portrait of a woman who became a symbol while remaining unknown as a person. The book examines how both pro-choice and anti-abortion movements instrumentalized McCorvey, and how she struggled to control her own narrative. For anyone who knows only the legal case, Prager provides the human story behind the pseudonym, revealing complexities that political arguments about abortion typically obscure.
