Josie is a single, queer, quietly observant writer in San Francisco who is committed to creating a family however she can. When she's reunited with her old college friend Radhika-an abortion doctor, mother of twins, and newly successful writer-the two women rapidly form a bond around intentional motherhood and shared ambition. Enthralled by her friend's brilliant self-assurance, Josie grows hungry for Radhika's approval and praise. But Radhika harbors her own troubling convictions about autonomy and sacrifice-and the more Josie trusts her, the more she risks being devastated by her friend's bold and dangerous decisions.

From physician and award-winning memoirist Christine Henneberg, I Trust Her Completely is a provocative and propulsive debut novel about female friendship, ambition, and radical choice.
