This is a book for the mother who reads the fine print. For the woman who has ever been hurried out of an exam room with a knot in her stomach and wondered, later in the car, whether she should have pushed. The doctor advises. But the signature, and the decision behind it, was always yours. My kid. My call. Rebekah Ricks is an author and legislative strategist who has helped move more than forty bills into law across multiple states. She writes where policy and faith meet, from her kitchen table in Winter Haven, Florida.
