BOOK REVIEW: THE CHOICE by ROBERT WHITLOW





by
ROBERT WHITLOW

About the Book: 

One young woman. Two very different roads. The choice will change everything.

Even as a pregnant, unwed teen in 1974, Sandy Lincoln wanted to do the right thing. But when an ageless woman approached her in a convenience store with a mysterious prophecy and a warning, doing the right thing became even more unclear. She made the best choice she could . . . and has lived with the consequences.

More than thirty years later, a pregnant teen has come into her life, and Sandy’s long-ago decision has come back to haunt her. The stakes rise quickly, leaving Sandy with split seconds to choose once more. But will her choice decision bring life . . . or death?

Reader Review . . . 
 
It's 1974 in a small town in rural Georgia, and seventeen-year old Sandy Lincoln is
pregnant. She's a nice girl from a good family.  These things don't happen in her 
world, and decisions have to be made.  Ultimately, the choice is hers, and she is 
the one who lives with that choice for over thirty years.

Over thirty years later, another unwed teenager comes into her life, and Sandy is 
forced to relive her choice once more.  One choice made thirty years before affects 
more lives than she would have ever imagined.

Do not start this novel until you have plenty of time or do not need to sleep. 
Once started, it cannot be put down.  In light of the continuing debate in the 
political arena concerning Roe v. Wade, this novel is very timely.  It causes the reader
to look the issue as concerning real people, not just a political argument.  The choice 
that a woman makes truly does have generational repercussions.  The novel explores
those repercussions, as well as the emotional fallout experienced by the entire family
during a teen pregnancy.  It was a very balanced view of the entire issue and was not
presented in a biased manner.  Added to that was the drama of Maria's story and how 
that unfolded, and that is why I was up until 4 a.m.  But it was worth it.  
 
I only wish I could give it more than 5 stars....
