Great Read. I've discovered that I love books that go between different era's. The message in this book was alarming but not surprising, but overall very well executed. I'm only giving four stars because the slightly steamy moments left me wanting more and I was disappointed when the flame kind of sizzled.

Thought provoking. I had no idea what to expect when I Chose this book but it was very enlightening. I had no idea about this case and sure enough I looked it up to understand more and to understand why this is still happening today. The author said “ history repeats what we don’t remember“ And in my opinion we allow them to let us forget. I honestly can’t remember ever receiving a pamphlet or any type of further information for any Birth control that I was given. This book definitely shed a light on things that we don’t think about.

Medical Historical. Take My Hand by Dolen Perkins-Valdez is Historical Fiction about a black nurse in 1973 Montgomery, Alabama. Civil, a new nurse, thinks she can make a difference by working in a Family Planning Clinic. Civil had an unwanted pregnancy and wished to teach and encourage her patients prevention rather than use abortion as birth control knowing her own difficult experience. A brilliantly written book that describes evil, poverty and conditions that most will find difficult to believe. It reminds us how government agencies and others have used their power to control people and achieve their goals. Have the medical methods and experiments with people really changed in the last hundred years? Does any government have the right to make choices for us or is it our right to make our own choices for our lives? Experimentation starts with those who are considered lower class, weak, poor, uneducated, and will eventually come for all of us except those considered the elite. I appreciated the author sharing all the long lasting impacts on each person and each family involved. Ms Perkins-Valdez has written a story based on real history that makes it clear that we must watch for any government treatments, medicine, and experiments, especially those forced without any real informed consent. For anyone who is not aware of what our government was capable of in the past and is capable of today, don't miss Take My Hand and the author’s note. Beware your eyes will be opened and this story will haunt you. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. I appreciate the opportunity and thank the author and publisher for allowing me to read, enjoy and review this book. Unforgettable! Bravo! 5 Stars

Wow.. Amazing.

Important history in a compelling tale. “Doing what’s best” for someone else often has unintended consequences. Read the story of nurse Civil Townsend, trying to do what she thinks is best for a pair of young Black sisters in 1973 Alabama. Based on disturbing historical fact, this well written tale comes at a time when once again, women’s reproductive rights are being determined by those who think they know what’s best for someone else.

Beautiful and heatbreaking. This book should be required reading. Heartbreaking. Beautifully written.

Great read. Very good story line I couldn’t put the book done

Heart grasping truths unfolded.. Alternating between 1973 & 2016 in Montgomery, Alabama, this novel takes you on a heart grasping journey of a nurse and 2 young black girls and a healthcare system & government that took what wasn’t theirs and didn’t give what it should have- their right to choose. The blood & chosen family bond through love, loss, triumphs, & pain. It is a reminder of how little this country has come in reproductive rights, yet how significantly far we have to go. It also re-inspired me that we individually & collectively can make a difference.

Beautifully we and thought provoking.. A piece filled with a timeless fight for reproductive justice.
