In a 1982 New Orleans courtroom
the best kept secret in the world is about to unravel, and a
young couple's jet set lives are about to change. Senior
district attorney Peter Jacobs is facing the trial of a
lifetime, a passionate, spiritual battle against an evil
with far reaching consequences. His beloved wife Rebecca, a
glamorous and driven partner at a major law firm, suddenly
finds her life spun out of control and her new faith tested
while facing a once in a lifetime choice.
New from lawyer-turned-novelist Pamela binnings Ewen, An
Accidental Life is fiction based on fact: the testimony of
registered nurse Jill Stanek before a U.S. Congressional
Committee confirming that it was routine for doctors in
Chicago's Christ Hospital to have nurses take infants born
alive during abortions down to a "soiled utility room" and
leave them to die.
Stanek's testimony led Congress to enact the Born Alive
Infant Protection Act of 2001, a federal-only law that still
does not bind state run hospitals or private clinics. The
fact remains that what happens to abortion survivors is one
of the best kept secrets in the world.
