Shelley Sella is a board-certified OB-GYN who recently retired after decades as an abortion provider. Her book, Beyond Limits: Stories of the Third-Trimester Abortion Care, looks at one of the most highly politicized areas of medicine, upending many common myths about abortion care and the women who seek it.
Gretchen Sisson is a sociologist who studies abortion and adoption at the University of California, San Francisco. Her new book, Relinquished, is the culmination of a decade-long study in which Sisson interviewed mothers from across the country – all of whom relinquished their children. Sisson shares their personal stories, and examines the socio-economic circumstances that play a major role in adoptions.
