The Baby Lottery

Nan, an obstretic nurse; Anastasia, a businesswoman; Jean, a former social worker; and Virginia, a community college professor, all friends from college, find their interlocking relationships strained when one of them, in her late thirties, decides to have a second trimester abortion after delaying the decision in hopes that her husband will change his mind. These women have all wrestled with--and are still engaged by--the questions of careers vs. motherhodd, marriage vs. divorce, and pregnancy vs. abortion.
