The Motherhood Mandate

The Unborn Child Protection Act, Book 2

By: M.E. Wright

Narrated by: Elena Moore

She dreamed of adventure. Now she's detained by the authorities. Her crime? She's pregnant.

Rylee Williams is looking forward to a fun-filled gap year before she heads East for college. An extended trip to Europe. Volunteering for her congregations Home Mission. Maybe even mentoring for her old high schools robotics team.

Pregnancy was the last thing that she expected. Detained under the Unborn Child Protection Act and forced into the Wisconsin Individual Family Education program with her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Rylee struggles to navigate in a world that has reduced her to a walking womb.

Can this strong-willed mother-to-be reclaim her life . . . and her future?

Set in 2028, this chilling companion to The Fatherhood Mandate, M.E. Wright offers frightening insight into current cultural and political trajectories. The Motherhood Mandate digs deeply into the endgame of authoritarian governments and their silver-tongued rhetoric.

All sides have a story...

after reading the thin blue line and the fatherhood mandate, I can definitely say, this one was my favourite, I had on my mind that Rylee was only a spoiled young woman, but I got to know her so much more in here, and it made sense the things she didn’t say to Sam and even the ones that Sam didn’t tell Rylee.

I got to listen to the audiobook, while the reading of Elena Moore was not bad, she failed in immersing me in the story the same way Tyler Boruff did, because she wasn't able to do everyone voices, but maybe that's my fault, I have been spoiled in the audiobooks that I listen.

This was a harsh story to read, but I enjoyed it a lot, and I really recommend this audiobook for everyone who likes gendered dystopias, or even reality based dystopias.

Thank you Storyorigin, for the free AAC and this is my honest opinion.

The Other Perspective

I was entertained by this story. I liked the first book which was from Sam's point of view, but I related more to Rylee's perspective as she experienced the changes, mental, physical, and emotional, which resulted from her pregnancy. I liked Rylee; however, I thought she was naive when it came to Sam's feelings about the pregnancy and its impact on his life. I thought Elena Moore's narration was great, and her performance enhanced my enjoyment of the story. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.

Surprise

Excellent story, and narration. It made me want more, and I sought out additional stories from the author. The story is set in the near future, 2028. Based on current social norms, politics, and just human nature it is sad to say the story could be predictive. Imagine a world where neither men or women have a choice. Showing normal emotional response to a surprise pregnancy, could cause all of this! I received a free copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving my review.
