The Lottery

by

AM Joy

Australia has banned babies, and one reluctant woman must decide if reproductive freedom is worth fighting for.

Brilliant scientist Alice Avery has never wanted children. When she falls pregnant accidentally, she doesn’t consider Australia’s mandated abortion laws an abuse of women’s rights. Instead, they’re a relief and a safety net for her.

Until the government decides that Alice and her baby are special. Too special for her baby not to be given a chance at life.

Prohibited from seeking an abortion, Alice and her unborn baby become unwilling participants in The Lottery, a brutal and secretive competition to see which woman will carry Australia’s next quarter baby to term.

Held against her will and forced to endure rounds of gruelling and invasive tests, Alice must fight for survival while coming to the realisation that her country doesn’t care about women.

Alice must finally face the truth—she may be the only woman in history who can do anything about it...
