Flamingnet Student Reviewer (KJon)"This book allows you to realistically live an experience that you and anyone else hopes to never have to go through."
Student reviewer K.Jon age 14
The book tells the compelling story of Rachel, a teenager faced with confusing choices leading up to and during a summer romance that left her pregnant. Searching for hope, she leaves out the possibilities to talk with family, friends and God as she finds things spinning out of control. Does a chance encounter help her think clearly? Learn whether or not she plows ahead or finds her true self and gains the faith, hope, and courage to consider the best choices to guide her through her incredible journey.
Says Bounds, “Gain Rachel’s experience without living it yourself; this story, when read by teens and parents together, may be utilized to stimulate discussion, bringing out issues and pressures teenagers face today. Use this story as a tool to help teens get a better understanding of their choices; relationship expectations; and positive, godly goals toward their family values which may help prepare similar adult choices.

"This book will work" Kjon
Flamingnet Student Book Reviewer (KJon)
Choices is a book that deals with one of the hardest decisions a girl might have to make. When Rachael meets Gary, she is forced to decide whether to take a chance and date him or break her schools tradition of dating outside their own walls. Pushing her fears aside, she lets herself fall for his athletic body and talents. Soon they share a deep and dark secret that will change their life forever and are forced to make decisions they are not ready to make. When Gary leaves for college and quits responding back to her emails and texts, she hops into a taxi with a driver that takes her away from her problems and offers her advice more valuable then anyone has ever offered. Read the book to find out what happens to her and how this amazing, summer of romance story ends.
This book allows you to realistically live an experience that you and anyone else hopes to never have to go through. This creates a page turning book with a meaningful message. The authors purpose is to show that teenage girls should not give up on their babies. Everyone enters this world with a purpose and could make a difference in the world. I think this book is really good and it will help young teenage girls realize what they are giving up and make them think twice about some of their choices. The book weaves together Rachael s reality and dreams to create suspense for the ending.
This book would be successful if a teen read it and discuss it with an adult.

"This book will save babies" Steve Burns
"I gave this book 5 stars because I believe that this book will inspire single teenage mothers to decide to keep their babies. It is the perfect book for Churches to buy in bulk and have lessons on in their Sunday schools."

Susan Anthony,
"This is a must read for every teen and parents" Susan Anthony
This book is an easy, fun read for such a multi-level, complex issue. As a mother of young teens, I feel very grateful that someone has finally written this book. It is easy to read and fast paced, romantic and thought provoking. The author clearly understands the feelings, emotions, thoughts, temptations, pressures and fears of young people today. This book allows blossoming young adults to travel through unchartered territory that could one day be theirs to face in a nonjudgmental, compassionate way. The ending provides an awesome twist giving a new perspective on the issue that no reader can ever forget. My son and daughter couldn't put it down. Neither could I. (Not for under 11)
