Product Description
A nurse practitioner at El Centro, a not-for-profit women's health center in rural Pennsylvania, Charlotte Hopper has found peace in her carefully constructed life-until her old college friend moves next door, resurrecting a secret so devastating that Charlotte's husband leaves rather than face the past. And after a heartbreaking discovery is made on the grounds behind the clinic, the women of El Centro must contend with being in the media spotlight-and being suspected of a terrible crime. Caught in a whirlwind of tragedies both large and small, Charlotte will learn just how much of herself she can give-and how much she must keep. |

So glad I found this! by FictionFan (Florida)  5 Stars
April 21, 2007
This book was on one of the "if you like this you might like this" things and I went ahead and picked it up on a whim. My friend grabbed the book I originally got when the order came in so I wound up reading this one first and was completely engrossed for two days! Letts is a terrific storyteller and I am so glad to find an author who writes so well about a controversial subject. This is women's fiction at its best and I've already ordered her next one.

Great story by A reader 5 Stars
March 31, 2006
I really enjoyed this book. I thought the quality of writing was great. So much attention was paid to each of the characters that I could picture each of them. The women in the clinic were my favorites. You could feel the camaraderie between them. I highly recommend this book.

Strong Female Characters by Melanie Lynne Hauser 5 Stars
March 28, 2006
What I love about Elizabeth Letts is how strong her female characters are, how supportive and understanding. While the suspenseful story draws you in, it's the characters and their tolerance for one another that stays with you long after you reach the last page. I can't wait to see what this talented author does next!

Family Planning is a novel that sucks you in right from the first pages. Letts has filled the book wth a well-drawn cast of quirky characters whom you'll wish you could hang out with. The story is heartwrenching, suspenseful, and beautifully written. I can't wait for the next one!
