Then, in late morning, a desperate and distraught gunman bursts in and opens fire, taking all inside hostage. After rushing to the scene, Hugh McElroy, a police hostage negotiator, sets up a perimeter and begins making a plan to communicate with the gunman. As his phone vibrates with incoming text messages he glances at it and, to his horror, finds out that his fifteen-year-old daughter, Wren, is inside the clinic. But Wren is not alone. She will share the next and tensest few hours of her young life with a cast of unforgettable characters: A nurse who calms her own panic in order save the life of a wounded woman. A doctor who does his work not in spite of his faith but because of it, and who will find that faith tested as never before. A pro-life protester disguised as a patient, who now stands in the cross hairs of the same rage she herself has felt. A young woman who has come to terminate her pregnancy. And the disturbed individual himself, vowing to be heard. 650 0 $a Hostages $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women's health services $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Hostage negotiations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Family planning services $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Abortion services $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Abortion $x Moral and ethical aspects $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Domestic terrorism $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Suspense fiction. 941 $a 2 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240524010221.0 952 $l ESPD725 $d 20221130130243.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=94CFDAACF83C11EC97B2B25526ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b IWRInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
