Something I Haven't Told You

By Pearl Ada Pridham

Description:

Alison, now a happy mother of two, recalls her teen years when a mistake of love led to unfathomable distress. Faced with pregnancy at the age of fourteen, she deals with shame, her father's rage, choices, and decisions that jerk her into adulthood. But, with her sister as her biggest supporter, along with her mother, friends, a counselor, and a school program for pregnant teens, she finds what is important in life to her and succeeds in fulfilling her dreams.

Book Takeaway:

God's grace and forgiveness overrides human weaknesses and mistakes. We all need that from God and from others in our lives.

Why the author wrote this book:

After working for several years in pregnancy centers, I wanted to give readers an inside view into how a teen pregnancy can affect not only the girl, but her family and community, and what can be helpful and unhelpful.
