Africa, the story is set in 1972, the year leading up to the landmark Roe v Wade decision on abortion rights, just as second-wave feminism was cresting.

Agnes has turned her quiet bed and breakfast into one of the few spots where victims of domestic violence can seek refuge. But to Agnes’s dismay, her latest runaway, Mary Anne, is beginning to influence Agnes’s college-bound daughter, Penny.

As the drums of a feminist revolution grow louder outside of Agnes’s tiny world, each woman’s presumptions and perspectives are challenged.
