ABOUT DOCTOR VOYNICH AND HER CHILDREN:
In a near future, Doctor Rue Voynich and her apprentice Fade travel the Heartland of America, one of the countries left after the schism of the USA, dispensing herbal medications. Covertly, some of those herbs assist with abortions, a practice that has been illegal since the days of the first woman president, Ivanka Trump. Fade tries to help local youth Hanna complete her abortion, using knowledge from an ancient manuscript, before her mother and the sheriff can nail them for the "attempted murder of an unborn person."
CHARACTERS IN DOCTOR VOYNICH AND HER CHILDREN:
RUE (trans woman), an herbalist. Forties.
FADE (female, or AFAB non-binary), an apprentice. Late teens.
HANNAH (female), a young woman seeking an abortion. Late teens.
JESS (female), a mother. Forties.
HARRISON (female), an officer of the law. Fifties.
Characters ages are somewhat flexible, though some characters must reasonably appear to be the parents of others.
