A beautiful repackaged edition of Francine Rivers's classic novel that breaks through the many taboos surrounding abortion. In one terrifying moment, Dynah Carey's perfect life is shattered by rape, her future irrevocably altered by an unwanted pregnancy, and her doting family torn apart. 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 untimely life within her.

Review:
Francine Rivers has a fantastic way to weave a story right into your heart. This is the second book I have read by her, and it did not disappoint at all. This story was tragically beautiful about Dynah Carters, who deals with rape, pregnancy, and the pressure of getting an abortion. Her life drastically alters after she is attacked near school grounds, and the result of how that horrible incident affects her life and her choices after that.
Resulting from the horrific event, she becomes pregnant and is placed in a predicament by the people who love her: to get an abortion. This book shows you how Dynah deals with her own decision, not one that she feels others have forced her into, and how by her own choice, she soon starts to heal from the pains of the past. She also learns that through this, God has not abandoned her to suffer alone and that even through a tragic event, something beautiful can come from it.
This book is definitely worth checking out, but at the same time, it will be hard to read through, and I will/am only recommending this book to those who can handle topics of rape and abortion.
