      2017

      When Angela discovers a mysterious letter containing a life-shattering confession in a stack of forgotten letters, she begins to look for the intended recipient. Her search takes her to the 1970s and 80s, when a group of daring women operated an illegal underground abortion network known only by its whispered code name: Jane . . .

      1971
      As a teenager, Dr. Evelyn Taylor was forced to give her baby up for adoption. Swearing she''ll do everything she can to make sure other women have the right to choose, she joins the Jane Network to provide safe but illegal abortions. There, she crosses paths with Nancy, who was told that if she ever found herself ''in a position'', she should ask for Jane. Nancy soon becomes the Network''s newest volunteer, desperately trying to help others while family secrets threaten everything she knows to be true.

      Over the years, Evelyn, Nancy, and Angela''s lives intertwine to reveal the devastating consequences that come from a lack of choice, and the buried secrets that will always find a way to the surface . . .
