I Loved You All — Paula Sharp

When Marguerite Daigle, a "seventh generation lapsed Louisiana Catholic," develops a drinking problem, her eight-year-old daughter Penny runs wild, and her teenage daughter Mahalia flees into the arms of a fanatical right-to-lifer, Isabel Flood, who provides the structure Mahalia has been craving. With a tension that builds from the first page, I Loved You All is a lyrical, funny and moving portrait of family life and of the peculiarly American politics of abortion rights.
