The Midwife’s In Town a novel of feminist resistance The future is now. Roe v. Wade is history.
Abortion is becoming illegal state by state, with the South leading the way. Virginia is the latest domino to fall.
Mollie O’Shay, a retired nurse-midwife from California, packs her bags for Richmond to work in an underground abortion clinic. She starts seeing clients an hour after she steps off the plane. Soon she meets Toni, an alluring, possibly gun-toting anthropology professor. But Mollie isn’t quite who she appears to be, and secrets from her past are about to catch up with her, jeopardizing everyone involved in the clinic.
“The mysteries unfold one after the other in this fast-paced novel, with the tension interlaced with laugh-aloud humor, and a lesbian romance to boot. A thoroughly enjoyable read.”
— Barbara Ridley, retired nurse practitioner, author of When It’s Over: A Novel“I wish this book weren’t necessary, but it is. It’s also lively, smart, and totally satisfying.”
–Ellen Meeropol, author of Her Sister’s Tattoo“At 70, this retired nurse brings commitment, perspective, and a wry sense of humor to breaking bad laws for all the right reasons. Entertaining, educational, and timely as f**k.”
— MB Austin, author of the Maji Rios mystery series–“Every daring attempt to make a great change in existing conditions, every lofty vision of new possibilities for the human race, has been labelled Utopian.”–Emma GoldmanAuthor/Journalist/Activist

So Team O back-stage Celebrants of Life!
I can feel the New Moon Leo, trine Jupiter stationing – up-lift…
As I was talking to myself, and then on-air….
having been annoyed by so much, and so many… then thinking to myself, in all these myriad times of being vexed , what is the common denominator, who was always there in those circumstances? Me! I was the common denominator…
Anyway, I became self-amused, and heart-lightened by that thought, which came right before the New Moon…
And more energetic uplift – available with the imminent Uranus, Mars, North Node cahooting, exact on August 1st…Flora fauna participatory animism
as evidenced by Cat Summertime, and Leo, an actual Leo, approaching his first birthday, getting the ” best use of chair for languor award”
The New Moon in California has 2+ Libra rising= Bernie Sanders and AOC’s Mercury = “Dawn of a New Day reveals everything changed,” and there be a tidal shift…
When feeling all the tedious harmful black magic directed at Biden, I spoke with Pat Ewing, saying, “Let’s imagine a reflective pewter circle around the lad, that deflects all the :”he looks tired” teen black magic, back to its source…and that he can feel solace , replenishing recovery from the faery world (his sabian)…
Pat joined in with her witchy daughters, and said and let’s see the 14 acres of White House dusted with sparkling good luck faery dust…
and by Jiminy, seems to be working (not causative, mind you, we just be experimenting with the power of Juoter well-wishing, transcending our curmudgeony grumpitude..) Joe Manchon did a turn-around, a small miracle that augurs more…gas prices dropping every hour ( a mixed thing, but what the hell).. Some stirring of the cauldron
And our chart, love the 9+ Scorpio rising “fellowship supper reunited old comrades.” The rising of my favorite USA chart…
And love that the show MC = Kate Raphael’s Uranus, stirring up participation…with her Sun, “Zuni Indians perform a ritual…”: square Ceres (Current South Node) at the witchiest degree… She does good, going to prison in Palestine, visiting USA South, and filing illuminating scouting reports…
So, let’s all encourage each other to feel more chipper…
