![]() ![]() Waller ( The Forbidden Orchid, 2016) hammers home the immense difficulties that girls in Camille’s situation face. At the last minute, despite her reservations, Bea decides to come as well. ![]() Desperate, Camille turns to Annabelle, a girl she admires but hardly knows, who offers to drive her to Mexico for pills that will induce an abortion. Complicating the situation are Texas’ prohibitive abortion laws: it’s a year after Senator Wendy Davis’ filibuster and Governor Rick Perry’s restrictive bill. Camille knows she can’t have a baby now, but she doesn’t want to involve her parents, and her best friend, Bea, can’t reconcile her religious views with Camille’s decision. Then one missed period becomes two, and Camille faces the truth: her first sexual encounter, a one-time thing, has led to pregnancy. Camille has just wrapped a successful summer with her theater troupe and is ready for a prestigious theater camp with her crush. ![]()
