Joy Brown:A Drawing Sent My Babies to Their Graves

Summary

Daisy Williams gets pregnant twice during her three-year marriage to Jake, but both pregnancies are forcibly ended by Jake’s wealthy family. They believe Jake’s blind little brother, Billy, is a clairvoyant whose drawings predict curses. Each time Billy draws a black bird after touching Daisy’s belly, the family labels the baby a “monster” and drags Daisy into an abortion. Daisy fights back with medical proof and calls for help, only to discover even her brother and husband can be turned against her.
