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?
The Choice by Robert Whitlow has a great message. The conflict in the book deals with two sides and their opinion on the value of life. While I enjoyed the content, the plot line was very predictable. The author spent much of the time developing the main character and her life. Halfway through the book, her life is fast forwarded to 33 years later. I felt as if the first half was written well, with suspense and great character development while the later half was severely lacking in depth. The outcome was too pretty and perfect. The ending that was prophesied earlier in the book did not really tie together in the end. It was a far stretch from what could have been developed.
I would recommend this book for a light easy read. If you like happy endings, you will like this book. Spiritually, the book has a light faith base to it but the main conviction was the aspect of choosing life over abortion. There was no mention of Jesus or the main characters forgiveness for sin committed earlier. Robert Whitlow could have used more prayer and more insight into the faith of the main character. He also could have used his expertise to create an awesome trial in the end. This was my least favorite book of Robert Whitlow’s books. I was provided with a free copy of the book by Booksneeze.com in exchange for a review.
