About this ebook
Millions of women suffer physically, emotionally and spiritually in the aftermath of an abortion. Yet it remains our country's best kept secret. How do you explain the guilt, the shame and the grief you feel over a choice you made on a subject no one talks about?
This author shares her personal story. Nineteen, single, and pregnant, those she loved and trusted the most told her she should have an abortion. No one cared what she wanted. Little did she know the impact it would have on her for the rest of her life.
