Fresh out of nursing school, Civil Townsend has big plans to make a difference, especially in her African American community. At the Montgomery Family Planning Clinic, she intends to help women make their own choices for their lives and bodies. But when her first week on the job takes her down a dusty country road to a worn-down one-room cabin, she's shocked to learn that her new patients, India and Erica, are children--just eleven and thirteen years old. Neither of the Williams sisters has even kissed a boy, but they are poor and Black, and for those handling the family's welfare benefits, that's reason enough to have the girls on birth control. As Civil grapples with her role, she takes India, Erica, and their family into her heart. Until one day she arrives at the door to learn the unthinkable has happened, and nothing will ever be the same for any of them. Decades later, with her daughter grown and a long career in her wake, Dr. Civil Townsend is ready to retire, to find her peace, and to leave the past behind. But there are people and stories that refuse to be forgotten. That must not be forgotten. Because history repeats what we don't remember"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Fiction Perkins-Valdez Checked out 05/28/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Perkins-Valdez item being mended   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Perkins-Valdez Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Perkins-Valdez Checked out 06/12/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction Perkins-Valdez Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Fiction Perkins-Valdez Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Fiction Perkins-Valdez Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Fiction Perkins-Valdez Transit Request   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Perkins-Valdez Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pahala P/S Library Adult Fiction Perkins-Valdez Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
