Más información sobre el libro

On a warm fall day, a women's reproductive health services clinic becomes the scene of a crisis when a gunman bursts in, taking everyone hostage. Police hostage negotiator Hugh McElroy quickly sets up a perimeter, but his world shatters when he discovers his fifteen-year-old daughter, Wren, is inside. As tensions rise, Wren encounters a diverse group of individuals: a nurse who must overcome her own fear to save a wounded woman, a doctor whose faith is tested under pressure, a pro-life protester disguised as a patient, and a young woman seeking to terminate her pregnancy. Each character's story unfolds during the standoff, revealing their motivations and struggles that led them to this moment. The narrative, structured to count backward through the hours of the crisis, explores complex themes such as the rights of pregnant women versus the rights of the unborn and the essence of good parenting. This gripping tale, penned by a fearless writer, invites readers to engage in meaningful debate and fosters a deeper understanding of a contentious issue.
