Description
At seventy-seven, Pepper Mills arrives at a Texas retirement community she never chose—only to find connection, romance, and a life that feels newly possible. Then her body turns against her with alarming symptoms, and the truth that follows is both astonishing and destabilizing: she’s pregnant. As the news spreads, Pepper is pulled into a whirlwind of attention—from media and strangers to activists and researchers—while she fights to reclaim control over her own choices, her body, and her future. With Laurie Frankel’s signature warmth and sharp moral clarity, this exuberant, urgent novel explores female agency and bodily autonomy, the ethics of care, and what motherhood and love can mean when time, health, and power shift overnight.
