I didn't read this book because of the author's pro-life stance, I read it because it is an intriguing and amazing story filled with heartbreak, love, and forgiveness. It is simply a heart warming story that will move you.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A wonderful heart wrenching story of love and forgiveness.By JudieI loved this book and the story it told, of despair, then hope, then forgiveness, then love. It has given me more compassion for the young mothers who are often victims themselves.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A Must ReadBy Ann DAn heartbreaking account of the realities of abortion and the tragic aftermath for the babies and mothers. You will come away with a softened heart for women who were either forced into an unthinkable "choice" or have bought into the lie the prochoice movement has been selling for over 4 decades. A truly inspiring story of strength, love and forgiveness.
