Many years ago, an 11yr. old girl, Marianna Jo, climbed up and onto a sturdy branch of a large, sprawling elm tree and overlooked the Crow River that coursed through the acreage of her family’s farm near Hanover, MN. This soon became a favorite spot to sit, resolve her adolescent problems, and dream of her future.

It was in the safety of this big elm’s arms that she brought her school tablet and penciled the words to her first poems. An out-of-

Stories about abortion provide a rich ground for looking at the relationship between narrative, experience, and meaning because in many ways abortion has come to be a defining issue for American culture--one that touches on the value we attribute to human life, liberty, and freedom. Using personal stories and interviews, MariAnna seeks to show the contours of a vital and diverse collective story--a narrative that emphasizes the discursive dynamics at work in any account of the significance of abortion.
