About the Book

Sixteen-year-old science-geek Eve returns from a service trip to discover she's pregnant. The unaware father Adam is still serving as a volunteer at the Dominican Republic orphanage where they met. They plan to exchange letters until he's back in Germany in mid-August, and can use texts and Face Time. By then, Eve will be eight-months pregnant--or not. Her best friend urges a quick abortion, while her pro-life mom and pro-choice dad insist she study both sdies of the debate. Eve's conclusion surprises her. She then stumbles upon an innovative solution--if she's willing to be the first person to try it. She is also awakened to how badly science and medicine have let women down. Eve suspects we'd be in an entirely different place if men had periods and carried unwanted embryos.This is a novel for pro-life and pro-choice women and their daughters.

Review :
"The Toronto Embryo is a powerful, inspiring and relevant book that will open hearts and minds." Linda Kay Simmons "This slim book is a must read for mothers and daughters everywhere....Women should read this, share it wiith their friends, and take it to heart. A book not to be overlooked, but duscussed and internalized." Betsy Ashton "Judith captures your attention from the very beginning and never drops you through the end! This is a thought provoking, heartwarming novel that will not let you down! Great book to open conversation about this very timely topic," Becky Carneal "With three teenage granddaughters, I can see the usefulness of such a book in my own family. However, it is a book for ALL." Gail Tansill Lambert "A fast and fascinating read. The Toronto Embryo should be required reading for everyone concerned about the right to life and the right of women to control their own bodies." Susan Coryell "This book offers insights into a future where young women will have more choices about their lives and bodies....(Eve) serves as a trustworthy guide for young adult readers looking for a way to think through the dilemma of an unplanned pregnancy from a feminist perspective." C. Wilcox "A topic that should be of interest to all readers...and an extremely interesting approach and solution that will be new to most readers." James Morrison
