There was an older lover, a professor, and, with another man, an unwanted sexual encounter. That spring, she had an abortion. A Termination is the story of the young woman who made that decision, and of how that act of resistance, then shrouded in fear and silence, has reverberated throughout her life since. Framing the story is a self-portrait of the author fifty-five years later, a woman with a sexual past, a poet who has made her own way. A lyric, searching memoir, A Termination asks what it means to write with full honesty about one's life-to explore who we were, and how our choices shape and allow who we become"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://acl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S209C4128580</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://acl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S209C4128580</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Moore, Honor]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://acl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4128580209</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798985976922/MC.GIF&amp;client=einet&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ars Botanica]]></title><description><![CDATA[In a series of letters to his unborn child, the author charts his grief, seeking solace in the natural world around him and describing both the pleasures of falling in love and the terrifying impossibility of losing someone.]]></description><link>https://acl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S209C3741392</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://acl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S209C3741392</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Taranto, Tim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://acl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3741392209</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Field Guide to Loss</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781940430980/MC.GIF&amp;client=einet&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[May Cause Love]]></title><link>https://acl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S209C3711499</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://acl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S209C3711499</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Underwood, Kassi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://acl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3711499209</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>An Unexpected Journey of Enlightenment After Abortion</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780062458636/MC.GIF&amp;client=einet&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[You Carried Me]]></title><link>https://acl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S209C3704943</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://acl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S209C3704943</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ohden, Melissa]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://acl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3704943209</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Daughter&apos;s Memoir</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780874867886/MC.GIF&amp;client=einet&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[May Cause Love]]></title><description><![CDATA[In this powerful memoir, a fiercely honest and surprisingly funny testament to healing after abortion, a young woman travels across the United States to meet a motley crew of spiritual teachers and a caravan of new friends.
At age nineteen, Kassi Underwood discovered she was pregnant. Broke, unwed, struggling with alcohol, and living a thousand miles away from home, she checked into an abortion clinic.
While her abortion sparked her "feminist awakening," she also felt lost and lawless, drinking to oblivion and talking about her pregnancy with her parents, her friends, strangers-anyone.
Three years later, just when she had settled into a sober life at her dream job, the ex-boyfriend with whom she had become pregnant had a baby with someone else. She shattered. In the depths of a blinding depression, Kassi refused to believe that she would "never get over" her abortion. Inspired by rebellious women in history who used spiritual practices to attain emotional freedom, Kassi embarked on a journey of recovery after abortion-a road trip with pit stops at a Buddhist "water baby" ritual, where she learns a new way to think about lost pregnancies; a Roman Catholic retreat for abortion that turns out to be staffed with clinic picketers; a crash course in grief from a Planned Parenthood counselor; a night in a motel with a "Midwife for the Soul" who teaches her how to take up space; and a Jewish "wild woman" celebration led by a wise and zany rabbi.
Dazzling with warmth and leavened by humor, May Cause Love captures one woman's journey of self-discovery that enraged her, changed her, and ultimately enlightened her.]]></description><link>https://acl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C2726292</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://acl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C2726292</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Underwood, Kassi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://acl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2726292980</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>An Unexpected Journey of Enlightenment After Abortion</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780062458650/MC.GIF&amp;client=einet&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[You Carried Me]]></title><description><![CDATA[<b>What happens when an abortion survivor finds her birth mother, who never knew her daughter was alive?</b><br><b>Winner,</b> 2018 Christianity Today Book Award, CT Women
