The novel opens in the voice of Frances Pell, also known as Franny Panic, a punk rock singer who wrote and performed a song titled “Mommy is sick,” based on the photograph of Lillian Preston, which shows her daughter Samantha offering her milk while she lies in bed bleeding from an abortion.

2. What effect does the narrator say Lillian Preston’s photography had on her when she discovered it?

Franny Panic says that she was young, ten years old, when the verdict put the image on the front page, and she says that she did not know what abortion was, but she says that she used to look at the image when life seemed hard, and the image of a daughter comforting her mother would make her feel better. She says that Samantha Preston became “a dark goddess to me” (2).
