While her friends are thrilled finally to have access to a pill that gives them the freedom to have careers and dominion over their bodies, Laura Sumner, who has no desire to marry, is desperate to have a baby. The Vietnam War is on the nightly news and women are burning bras in the fast-changing world of the 1960s, but thirty-four year old Laura wonders why her choice as a feminist couldn’t be to have a baby without marriage. Laura not only has to justify her desire to her friends, but to her Bible-believing siblings, as well. Yet, her most important mission is to find a man who will agree to impregnate her and then get out of the picture once the act is accomplished.
