Book Synopsis

Fucking A is an otherworldly tale involving a noble mother, her wayward son and others. Hester Smith, the revered and reviled local abortionist, hatches a plan to buy her jailed son''s freedom-and nothing will deter Hester from her quest. In this violent and wild-eyed blend of story and song, which harkens to Brechtian and Jacobean structure, Hester''s branded letter A becomes a provocative emblem of vengeance, violence and sacrifice.

A fiery, raw-throated shout in the face of hypocrisy, privilege and injustice. - Sara Holdren, New York Magazine
