Just a high school student, Deborah dreamed of escaping her hostile home environment and seeing the world. A handsome senior provided that escape. After almost five years of marriage and the birth of their two daughters, they divorced. Determined to support her young girls and be successful in a male-dominated utility industry, she was a trailblazer with significant and unique challenges. Ultimately these challenges and her determination for success led to two untimely pregnancies, which she chose to end by abortion.
In the years that followed, the sacrifices Deborah had made on her self-centered, destructive path became too much to bear. She learned that each decision she made had far-reaching consequences and that the only healing for the pain and shame she endured as a result of ending two pregnancies was through God's abundant grace. This true story offers hope for the psychological effects of abortion and encourages life-affirming options for others in a similar, unplanned situation.
