From the acclaimed author of Over the Plain Houses comes a powerful novel that delves into the lives of two young women, each facing an unplanned pregnancy in different eras.
Edie Carrigan never intended to become pregnant, let alone find herself in a home for unwed mothers. In the 1950s, North Carolina, illegitimate pregnancies were kept hidden, wayward women were subjected to psychiatric treatments, and adoption was considered the ultimate solution. Even Edie's closest friend, Luce Waddell, fails to comprehend Edie's genuine desire: to keep and raise the baby.
Twenty-five years later, Luce has achieved success as a lawyer, and her daughter, Meera, finds herself in a similar situation as Edie once did. Like her mother, Meera is fiercely independent and determined to handle her unexpected pregnancy on her own terms. As Meera embarks on this journey, she uncovers startling secrets about her mother's past, including a long-ago friendship with Edie.
As the lives of these three women intertwine and collide, the story explores age-old questions about female awakening, reproductive choice, motherhood, adoption, sex, and missed connections. For fans of Brit Bennett's The Mothers and Jennifer Weiner's Mrs. Everything, The Say So is a timely novel that poses the poignant question: how do we navigate the consequences of the choices we have made? With equal parts precision and tenderness, Frank has crafted a sweeping epic that resonates deeply in the present day, capturing the essence of the women's movement's coming-of-age and its enduring impact.
