Spotlight: Ava by Victoria Dillon

What if the only way to reclaim reproductive freedom was to rewrite the very nature of birth itself? 22-year-old biologist Larkin finds herself unexpectedly pregnant. Trapped by strict abortion laws, she is forced to carry her baby to term, only to endure the heartbreak of losing her child hours after birth. She joins a radical scientific movement that aims to replace gestation with incubation, allowing women true control over their reproduction by egg laying. When she uses it to bring her second daughter, Ava, into the world, she believes she has finally reclaimed her autonomy. But as Ava grows and begins to question the very choice that created her, Larkin is challenged in ways she never imagined.
