The Choice
Robert Whitlow
Fiction/Christian/General
Back of 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 bring life .
. . or death?

My thoughts:
If
you are like me you have your favorite authors in different genres. For a great
southern legal drama I tend to gravitate to Robert Whitlow. His novels have an
authenticity in them that seems to lack in others. Mr. Whitlow’s novels
probably ring true because he is active in the areas that he writes about.
The Choice is the latest
work from Mr. Whitlow. This story is an emotionally charged tale that starts in
1974 just following the passing of Roe v. Wade. For anyone that grew up in this
time frame and especially anyone that has dealt with an unplanned pregnancy be
prepared to have your feelings turned inside out.
The
title is so appropriate. Throughout the two sections of the book we are led to
see exactly how far reaching our choices are. The first section covers a nine
month period in 1974. The second section jumps forward to 2008. With this jump
in the story you get to experience the lasting effects of a choice made thirty
plus years before. The repercussions are far reaching. They not only affect the
one making the choice, but those that the choice was made for and everyone
surrounding the decision.
I
can already tell that this story is going to linger in my thoughts for some
time to come. If you enjoy gritty real life dramas that make you contemplate
not only what you believe but why you believe it, then The Choice is for you.
