Publisher's summary

This “clever and satisfying” (Associated Press) #1 international bestseller for fans of Kristin Hannah and Jennifer Chiaverini follows three women who are bound together by a long-lost letter, a mother’s love, and a secret network of women fighting for the right to choose—inspired by true stories.

2017: When Angela Creighton discovers a mysterious letter containing a life-shattering confession, she is determined to find the intended recipient. Her search takes her back to the 1970s when a group of daring women operated an illegal underground abortion network in Toronto known only by its whispered code name: Jane.

1971: As a teenager, Dr. Evelyn Taylor was sent to a home for “fallen” women where she was forced to give up her baby for adoption—a trauma she has never recovered from. Despite the constant threat of arrest, she joins the Jane Network as an abortion provider, determined to give other women the choice she never had.

1980: After discovering a shocking secret about her family, twenty-year-old Nancy Mitchell begins to question everything she has ever known. When she unexpectedly becomes pregnant, she feels like she has no one to turn to for help. Grappling with her decision, she locates “Jane” and finds a place of her own alongside Dr. Taylor within the network’s ranks, but she can never escape the lies that haunt her.

Looking for Jane is “a searing, important, beautifully written novel about the choices we all make and where they lead us—as well as a wise and timely reminder of the difficult road women had to walk not so long ago” (Kristin Harmel, New York Times bestselling author).

Outstanding!

As an adoptee who I am sure was purchased through the Catholic Church, this book is so insightful.

Gut wrenching story on pro choice in Canada

This audible was well written and I enjoyed all the characters. It was hard to listen to how the women were treated in The maternity homes. The threads that connected characters from decade to decade was well connected and held my interest. A wonderful book. For anyone that has had a miscarriage or abortion it might be too sensitive.

Page turner

I could not believe how much I loved this book. Picked four book club and I could hardly put it down. Sadly, information is still relevant to today’s struggle in women’s health.

Not only is this story woven into a riveting listen, I absolutely love the theme of feminine justice. Very well done!

So good

Great story, performance, and piece of historical fiction. Sarah Borges narration was on point and the story kept my attention for the entirety. I love the beautiful ending. So good.

Heather Please Research Medical Info

Really liked this book until I got to the first OB ultrasound appointment. I wish authors would do more research. The 2nd heartbeat would be “seen” on the early ultrasound (5-6weeks if viable) NOT by the doppler at 7 weeks. Even at 7 weeks the ultrasound would be used to confirm heartbeats, too early for doppler over the belly. No physician would EVER use doppler over ultrasound in confirmation of twins (multiples).
