Titles I've written about:
Love and Haight (2012):
Due to the era, the writing style, and due to the subject matter—it describes, step-by-step, the process of procuring a legal abortion in the years before Roe v. Wade—it's actually quite reminiscent of an old-school issue novel. The major difference here being that while much of Love and Haight was problematic, it wasn't entirely preachy: the characters have different views about the issue, and deal with them in different ways.
