Review :
"...a compelling story that explores one of the dilemmas that millions of women face across the globe daily -- the question of unwanted pregnancy. It's also a story that clearly illustrates how vulnerable a woman can be when choices are forced on her. I loved the way DonnaLee Overly captures the emotions of the protagonist, allowing readers to feel her pain, to understand her dilemma, and to connect with her from a place where she feels deeply broken and weak. Character development is impeccable and readers will enjoy how a single event -- an unplanned pregnancy -- can change everything in a woman's life. The writing is beautiful and the narrative feels so real in the present tense. The powerful descriptions, the skillful use of the stream of consciousness, and the realism injected into the narrative make for an enjoyable read. " -five stars by Romuald Dzemo for Readers' Favorite
