DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the 60 ́s when abortion was illegal in most states women had to resort to finding an alternate place to have the procedure done. These illegal clinics were few and far between but one place did exist. The Riverside Woman ́s Center was established for the very rich to rid themselves of unwanted pregnancies. Annie was a famous model who didn ́t want her career disrupted by an unplanned pregnancy. She also didn ́t want to risk losing the love of her life, who had not yet established himself in the art community. Without consulting him, she rid herself of the child only to find several years later, that the child had been born alive and was rescued by an employee that was a family friend. She also suffered the consequences of being unable to have any more children. The child is named Crystal. When the friend passes away, she leaves the information she had about Crystal ́s family and she reconnects with them in the only way she can and the only way she knows how. Her mother is driven to her death, while her father kills himself with her help, and after finding out the truth. Was what she did to them, anything less than what they did to her? Think about it.
