    [synopsis] => Get the Summary of Joshua Prager's The Family Roe in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. Original book introduction: Despite her famous pseudonym, "Jane Roe," no one knows the truth about Norma McCorvey (1947—2017), whose unwanted pregnancy in 1969 opened a great fracture in American life. Journalist Joshua Prager spent hundreds of hours with Norma, discovered her personal papers-a previously unseen trove-and witnessed her final moments. The Family Roe presents her life in full. Propelled by the crosscurrents of sex and religion, gender and class, it is a life that tells the story of abortion in America.

Prager begins that story on the banks of Louisiana's Atchafalaya River where Norma was born, and where unplanned pregnancies upended generations of her forebears. A pregnancy then upended Norma's life too, and the Dallas waitress became Jane Roe.
