What Happened to Paula: An Unsolved Death and the Danger of American Girlhood
Katherine Dykstra
If you need to dive into a book but can't stop thinking about Roe, I highly recommend WHAT HAPPENED TO PAULA by @dykstra_k from @wwnorton. Paula died just before Roe v. Wade. This book helped me understand how that ruling shaped the world I grew up in. https://t.co/vF1Hr0oDeB

Happy pub day to @ChrisKenneally's "Ghosts of the Orphanage"! An incredible book about "heterotopias" - secret worlds within our own - that's deeply profound for anyone and has a special salience for families of orphans and clergy abuse survivors. https://t.co/EMwHPrA27i
