I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I found the story compelling. Melissa's birth mother intended to abort her, but she survived (without either of her birth parents' knowledge), and was adopted. At 14, she learned the truth of her birth, and spiraled into PTSD-induced, self-destructive behavior. A willingness to let God be in charge, a loving husband, and the consistent support of her adopted parents brings Melissa to the point where she not only learns to love herself, but to love and forgive all of those involved in the failed abortion that gave her life. Melissa obviously has an agenda; that's not a criticism, just an important fact of which to be aware when reading this book. This should be required reading for anyone involved in social justice, no matter their personal views on abortion. The author is unapologetically (and unsurprisingly) anti-abortion, and presents a compelling argument why pro-choice is not pro-women. Will this book change anyone's mind? It's possible, given the sincerity of Melissa's writing style. She raises issues that I, to be honest, had not considered or fully examined, and I appreciate being able to more thoroughly consider my own position on this important and divisive topic. ( )Det här är en av LibraryThings förhandsrecensioner. Author Melissa Ohden writes the actual survival story of being a botched abortion and how she sees herself after learning this news. She had always known she was adopted and was lucky enough to have a loving father and mother in her life. However, after she finds out the new about her birth, she begins to think more about the biological parents and what was the circumstance for their choice of wanting an abortion and why after all that happened during the procedure did they just not keep her. Her journey starts slow and seems to hit dead ends, but soon she finds individuals that are aware of what happened that night. Melissa Ohden bravely tells you the most difficult time in her life with grace and beauty. I enjoyed this story that I feel too often isn't talked about and would recommend to anyone. Det här är en av LibraryThings förhandsrecensioner. Melissa did not find out until she was a teen that she was the product of a failed abortion. She knew she was adopted, but she assumed she had been loved and her biological mother could not provide for her. She was adopted by a very loving couple. Her memoir chronicles her journey as she deals with this discovery and she uses it to help others. I was impressed with her journey and with the conclusion (no spoiler here). Very good reading for teens as well as adults. Det här är en av LibraryThings förhandsrecensioner. This is an Early Reviewers Review.I think the author Melissa Ohden's story of how she came into this world and survived is amazing. She is the survivor of a botched abortion. How the doctors didn't know how far along her mom was in her pregnancy boggles my mind. My rating is lower than the majority. I found the "anti-abortion' political message took over the short book. Det här är en av LibraryThings förhandsrecensioner. Wow. This was an incredible story of sorrow and triumphs. No matter what side you stand on pro choice or pro life this book makes you reconsider everything you thought you could know about abortion and the startling waves it creates in lives. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

Melissa Ohden is fourteen when she learns she is only alive because she was rescued after a botched abortion. In this intimate memoir she details for the first time her search for her parents, and her own journey from rage and shame to faith and empowerment. After a decade-long search Melissa finally locates her father and writes to extend forgiveness, only to read that he has died suddenly-before he can answer her burning questions. Then her mother's parents refuse to pass along Melissa's letter. Years later, when she finally hears from the woman who carried her and gave her life, Melissa finds out why. But the shocking truth is more than she can bear. Yet even the most startling family secrets are eclipsed by the triumphant moment when Melissa becomes a mother herself in the very hospital where she was aborted. And she reveals how-through the miscarriage of her only son, the birth of a second daughter with major medical issues, and her own mother's story-she gained a deep empathy for every woman who has had an abortion. Like none other, this intensely personal story of love and redemption cuts through the debates surrounding a divisive contemporary issue to touch our common humanity.
