The Choice

Once again author Robert Whitlow writes a best-seller.  Without one second of hesitation, I can quickly recommend this book to anyone who desires to read about the life of a young girl who finds herself pregnant and the choices that she must soon face.  After Sandy, a senior in high school, finds herself pregnant by Brad Donnelly, a star football player, her life quickly changes never to be the same again.  

The first part of the book deals with Sandy's choices that she has to make and the fact that she must follow her inner desires to do what is best for not only one baby but two.  While many people tried to influence her and direct the decision that she would have to make we quickly see that Sandy learns how to stand on her own in her decision making.  She makes many decisions that will not only impact her life but the life of both of her babies that she will give up for adoption.

The second part of the book is over 30 years later and how as a school teacher she faces a young girl in her class that is pregnant.  She desires to help this young girl make wise choices as she was faced with many years earlier.  While on this quest there were many hurtful things that Sandy encountered, yet in the midst of the turmoil she not only comes across one, but both of her sons.  There are many emotions that the reader will experience as they go along the journey that is prepared for Sandy.  

She finds that God never left her, rather He was guiding her along the way all the time.  She in return desired to reach out and help others around her.  She is soon acquainted with her son's family and her grandchildren and later was asked to be an acting grandmother to the young girl who was pregnant and had her child.

From the first to the last page this book is filled with adventure, excitement and thought provoking situations that helps one to become less judgmental and more understanding in the way one views issues in life.  There is also a study group discussion section at the end of the book that would be helpful.  Each book by Robert Whitlow is entertaining and I can't wait for the next to arrive.
