Book 2 of The Window
The Window That Won't Open
What the Body Believes for Thirty Years
by J. Brandon Hughes
Every morning the Pill tells your body it is already pregnant.
Every morning a pill tells your body you are already pregnant. The body cannot check. It stands down, and the monthly tide of energy, mood and desire goes flat for thirty years. This book follows that signal organ by organ and keeps settled chemistry apart from softer research. What the body does with a signal is biology, not choice.
- The window
- The fertile years, when the monthly cycle is held on one note
- The signal
