"Based on the true story of an illegal women's clinic at the center of a high-profile trial in 1940s Chicago. In the fall of 1939, Mimi Lukas wages a private battle in her Chicago neighborhood. Her husband, Stan, once a promising White Sox player, has been sidelined by a broken leg. As Stan sinks into inertia, Mimi resolves to go back to nursing. When a friend tells her of a women's clinic in need of a nurse, Mimi hesitates. Such places are illegal and at odds with her religious upbringing. But Dr. Gabler's office is clean and welcoming, the staff skillful. Patients are treated with dignity and compassion. The patients, too, are not who Mimi expected. Some are heartbreakingly young. Most are married, and many already have children. Police and state prosecutors are paid handsomely to turn a blind eye. Mimi begins her own private reckoning between what is legal and what is necessary, no matter how painful or inconvenient. But she senses the tide turning against them, and she knows that soon she must decide how much she will risk to defend the ideals she's come to embrace through hard-won experience . . ."-- Provided by publisher.
