The Mind of a<br />
Deviant Woman<br />
by Paula Paul<br />
Carrie Buck, a young woman living in early-twentieth-century<br />
Virginia, is raped and becomes pregnant by a family member--and her<br />
trauma is only beginning. She is deemed a “deviant” for having a child<br />
out of wedlock and, for that reason, is a candidate for sterilization.<br />
Louisa Van Patten, a New York socialite, is an advocate of the eugenics<br />
movement, which promotes this punishment.<br />
When Carrie and Louisa meet, along with journalist Ben Newman,<br />
during a national debate about the merits of forced sterilization, all<br />
their lives--and ours--are changed forever.<br />
Paula Paul’s historical novel The Mind of a Deviant Woman offers a<br />
thrilling story based in extensive research into a little-known, but<br />
devastating, part of American history.<br />
