Upline

A Shmuley Myers Story

Miriam's hustling multiple gigs: selling cosmetics, vegetables, and...urine samples? In an age where the government scans sewers to track suspected feticiders, the latter is the gift of time for a woman to decide whether to escape to a country where abortion isn't capital murder, or come to peace with surprised parenthood. Her cover as a Makeup Girl gives her the freedom to meet others in the Upline network, helping women in their time of need. Except...something's gone horribly wrong! This short story takes place in an Austin, Texas universe where life begins at conception and citizenship is awarded at that time. And all the unintended consequences it brings. Sol Sharp has three detective novels in the Shmuley Myers mystery series.

The devilish details

I enjoyed how a dark future came to life here through the eyes of one desperate woman trying to survive.
