Novels That Deal With Abortion?

Question

I'm writing a paper for an English class on abortion, and one of my required sources must be a fictional novel. The book must have abortion as the primary or secondary plot. Can you think of any that come to mind?

Thanks!

Cheers,

Answer 1

Many moons ago I read a book called, "My Darling, My Hamburger." It might seem a little dated. It was a book we discovered in elementary school and of course we all had to check it out and read it. I didn't realize it was by Paul Zindel.

Here's a synopsis:
Encouraged by Liz, her more outgoing friend, Maggie agrees to go on a date with Dennis, a friend of Liz's boyfriend, Sean. Both shy and awkward, Maggie and Dennis slowly stumble their way into a relationship. Meanwhile, Liz and Sean, misunderstood by their parents and looking for affection, begin having sex. As the four friends prepare to graduate from high school, a tragedy occurs that changes all of their lives forever.

(That's the website for the synopsis. I think you can buy the book most places and probably get a copy pretty cheap.)

********I found out I have a really old copy of this book as I was going through some that I need to give away. Let me know if you're interested. *********
