Everyone should read this book. One of the most thought provoking stories on apocalypse I have read. A horror story but without that underlying fear all women have experienced.

Everyone should read this book. I consider myself more knowledgeable than most on women's health issues and I still learned so much from this. This book is written in a way that is easy to understand, from high-school on.
