Publisher Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of Redeeming Love and The Masterpiece—and “one of [Christian fiction’s] most honored and talented writers” (Library Journal)—comes a heart-wrenching but uplifting story about a highly controversial topic.
College student Dynah Carey knew where her life was headed. Engaged to a wonderful man, the daughter of doting parents, a faithful child of God—she has it all. Then the unthinkable happens: Dynah’s perfect life is irrevocably changed by a rape that results in an unwanted pregnancy.
Her family is torn apart and her seemingly rock-solid faith is pushed to the limits as she faces the most momentous choice of her life: to embrace or to end the life within her.
This is ultimately a tale of three generations of women, as Dynah’s plight forces both her mother and her grandmother to confront the choices they made. Written with balance and compassion, this family drama brings a new perspective to the widely debated topic of abortion.
• A moving Christian women’s fiction novel
• Poignant themes of wrestling with God, forgiveness, and redemption
• Explores sensitive topics in a thoughtful, nuanced manner

God’s Love
I loved this book. I wish there would have been more of the story written of Joe and Dynah’s life together. Thank you for writing about God’s love and forgiveness.
Beautifully written
This is a must read. We all face choices. God is on our side. Turn to him always.
