To the Woman in the Pink Hat by LaToya Jordan


 

 I'm pleased to announce the release of To the Woman in the Pink Hat, a novella by LaToya Jordan, as the eighty-seventh volume in the Conversation Pieces series, in both print and e-book editions. You can purchase it now at www.aqueductpress.com

Jada Morris was the fierce and resilient leader of a social movement against the theft of young women’s uteruses before she committed a violent crime. Now, in 2040, the 24-year-old is serving time at The Center for Future Leaders, an alternative to prison for young leaders who committed crimes as a response to gender-based violence. The Center supposedly provides training, education, therapy, and reduced sentences to the convicted in order to return them to their communities as leaders. But as Jada begins her therapy, she realizes all is not as it seems, and memory is thorny at best. Can she trust her android therapist and the terrifying path down which she’s taking her? And what will she find at the other end?

Jordan’s novella is a gripping and terrifying look at our reproductive future that sends shudders through our reproductive present.
