OverviewIf you had an unwanted pregnancy, what would you decide? When Liv, 21 and about to graduate into a career of nonprofit work, returns from India and discovers she's pregnant, she needs to make choices that will define her life. What should she tell her live-in boyfriend Devin who is not the father? Does she want to have an abortion as her best friend Elyse urges? If not, will she give up the baby as her mother Katherine did? Set in Seattle, with flashbacks to her time in Mumbai and affair with Rama, watch Liv's new-found feminism shape her decisions. And hear a legacy from the women in her family that gives her the courage to stand for her own values. This coming-of-age story begins the Nonprofit Girl Trilogy that evolves into a family saga spanning 15 years and populated by strong women of all ages.
