Because Your Choice Is Also Your Burdon
There is no chance this book will NOT touch you if you are a woman. Like the title alone rings a bell in every adult woman medical experiences.
"Larger Than An Orange" is written in a very personal diary format and unfolds the processs of a typical female "pro choice" procedure in front of us. And even if you never had to have that experience - lucky you! - you feel like reaching out to the author and comfort her as you did with your girlfriends, or, like me, with a stranger in a doctor´s office who had a nervous breakdown in the waiting room.
