Shaw Books

Superb collection of the six volume stories about Kirsten, the Swedish immigrant child who came to America in 1854 to rural Minnesota. Wonderful to have a single hardcover volume with all the stories. Very good pricing, especially at Amazon. However, you should know that the historical sections found at the end of each of the six stories in the bookset are not included in this volume. Only one historical section is at the very end. Still excellent and super value. A book to be treasured!

When I read the Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder I was in the fourth grade and just discovering for myself how great it was to lose myself in a good story. At the same time, without even realizing it, I was learning about what it meant to be a pioneer girl in the mid-1800s, back when the American Wild West was largely unsettled and still justified the �Wild� part. It was a lot less like the cowboy movies than I�d imagined.

The American Girl stories must have been created with girls like me in mind. If you are unfamiliar with these books, they are the stories of fictional girls from various eras of American history and geography, each telling a small part of the story of the peoples that made up the character of our nation in the 1700s, 1800s and the first half of the 1900s. Kirsten�s Story Collection is a collection of stories written about Kirsten Larson, a Swedish girl who came over to America with her family in 1854 to be pioneers. Although Kirsten is a fictional person, she is apparently based on a composite of real pioneers of her time and seems very well-researched. Through her eyes we see New York, the Mississippi River on a great riverboat, the Midwest through a pioneer caravan and several small towns along the way. Kirsten meets and befriends other pioneers, farmers and native Americans. She endures hardships with her familiy and struggles to learn English at the Powderkeg School. Always, Kirsten solves her problems with the support of her family and faith in hard work and integrity (those things we call American values).

As an adult I read these stories quickly. They are written in a straightforward style suited perfectly for their intended age group of 7+. The themes of family, friendship and adventures are universally appealing and fun even while subtly teaching history to young minds. The morals are wholesome but not based on any specific faith (maybe a little too politically correct in my opinion, but not conspicuously). If I had a daughter I would happily encourage her to read these books. Maybe I�ll keep my copy for my boys.

In the tradition of the Little House books, this story collection is nicely illustrated with colored pencil drawings (although by no means could you consider it a picture book � these are real novels for ages seven and up). I enjoyed having them bound together in a quality hardcover binding as opposed to earlier editions in separate paperback versions. IMHO this would be a great gift book for a young reader, a definite keepsake.

I got this (and Addy's Story Collection) thinking it would be nice to have the six books in one volume for my daughter. After I got it I realized that five of the six historical lessons had been omitted from the collection. Since the historical lessons are part of the value of the books I was disappointed. I'll be selling both collections and buying the hardcover books individually.

I am a #1 fan of the American Girl Collection anyway, but when I read Kirsten's Story Collection when I was like eight (I am now eleven, almost twelve) I absolutely fell in love!
This book is almost as good as The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. I love Kirsten and her friends.
The first story is Meet Kirsten, where she comes from Sweden to America and faces hardships. Second is Kirsten Lears and Lesson. I personally like this one because it is very interesting and has a great moral. Third is Kirsten's Surprise. It tell abouit Swedish Traditions and is very exciting. Fourth is Happy Birthday Kirsten! and this one is kind of self-explanitory. Fith is Kirsten Saves the Day and Kirsten is faced with a delimma when bears chase her and her little brother Peter. And the last :( is Changes for Kirsten and this one is kind of hard to describe without telling you what happens.
Another good thing to read is the short stories if you are a Kirsten girl like I am. But definitly read this first, and read this edition, too!

This book also changed my life when I read it the summer after I graduated from a Portland Oregon bible school. It's hard to describe how much I needed this book at that time.

Nelson taught me the value of emotional honesty. I don't regret going to bible school but I now admit to myself that the experience wasn't always heaven!

Having been to a Christian college myself, this book probably meant more to me than it would to some. However, that are certain struggles the main character Jo has with herself that I think anybody can probably relate to. Even for those who don't believe in a higher being-the struggles are true for anybody. What is the purpose of our life? How are we supposed to be? This is not maybe the easiest book to get through, but it is a reward at the end.

I read this book just out of bible school and really resonated with it even though the story took place a couple of generations before. I strongly recommend it for people who have been involved in or are interested in conservative Christianity. Too bad it is out of print. I've loaned out my copy and never got it back.

Reading this book was a life-changing event in my freshman year at a private Christian college. It opened my eyes to the undercurrent of the subculture I then found myself in, though perhaps not as extreme as Calvary, the small Bible college in Chicago (suspiciously resembling Moody Bible Institute) that Jo found herself in during the time of WWII.

Nelson describes Jo's world: "Happiness was a kind of badge at Calvary; it was not only nice to be happy, it was right. It was a sign that things were as they should be on the inside. But while in such an atmosphere unhappiness was frequently viewed with judgment or shame, it's only fair to add the obvious: a school cannot be held accountable for the inward state of every student. Some things will happen wherever you are, and that is where Jo was, at that school, in that city."

And so we enter the world Jo Fuller. Nelson paints a wonderful picture of Calvary's masked nature juxtaposed to the terrifying, offensive reality of the city around her. Her friends at school deny that reality, equating such a place with the "world" of the New Testament, just as Jo and her family desperately want to deny any thought that her brother, declared MIA, might have been killed by the war. Jo is brought face-to-face with this problematic world in the encounters with roommates, obsessive boys, hardhearted professors and administrators, drunks, even the Bible itself. This beautiful and honest novel brought me in touch with a swamp of reality that I might have ignored, while being neck-deep in myself. It opened me to questions that my own closed mind had previously shunned. If you wish to wrestle with the complexities of a rapantly common Christian culture in North America, please, for your own sake and the sake of those around you, read this book.

Initially published in 1972, Gary Shaw chronicles his early-1960s career as a football player at the University of Texas, a perennial national power under the iron-fist rule and fiefdom of coach Darrell Royal.

The elements of players as commodities to feed the university coffers, while not being integrated within the student body; assistant coaches with the goal of victory at any cost for their own survival and advancement; a head coach with the type of political connections that money can't buy and an utter lack of institutional oversight or control by university officials are as timeless by degree as spring practice and bowl games.

This is not a coming of age for Shaw, but a search for his soul after walking out of a machine that has nothing to do with student-athletes or intercollegiate athletics. It remains a disturbing read which explores the truth and consequences within major college football.

I lived in Moore-Hill Hall during the time Gary Shaw wrote about his experiences with UT football. Gary and his roommate lived down the hall from me when I lived in the dorm. Much of what I read dealing with the arrival of the freshmen to Moore-Hill and dorm l found to be pretty accurate based on my experiences there. I happened to be there because my father had been assigned to Japan, and I had to return to the States at the Air Force's choosing rather than my own. Therefore, I was on campus earlier than the rest of the student body. I remember Gary as a friendly guy. Because there were no scholarship limits at the time, I don't doubt that life was hard on players who were not counted on to ultimately play. I also believe that academics resulted in a number of players also leaving UT in their freshman and sophmore years.

If, like most big-time football fans, the ends justifies the means for you, then you're sure to hate this book, which is written from the point of view of someone who refused to be used in this way.

If, on the other hand, you want a serious look behind the scorelines and hero-worshipping, Shaw gives it to you straight. A squad filler at the University of Texas in the 1960s whose battle with injuries resulted in humiliating drills and occasional bullying from the coaching staff (presumably in an effort to get him to quit school and give up his scholarship), Shaw details the chew-em-up and spit-em-out approach which ultimately forced him off the team. It is a sensitive, poignant and indicting representation of college sports, one which should have debunked the "student-athlete" myth once and for all.

A sad footnote: the author, who passed away recently, spent much of his life living on the streets, suffering from a mental illness which, some argue, the last chapter hinted at. It's a great tragedy - the arrogant, greedy, ultra-macho world of big-time football lost an eloquent critic - of the type in profoundly short supply these days as everybody switches on the TV and rallies around the university flag.

Having played football at the University of Texas I came to read this book with much anticipation to see how the author's experience was similiar or different from mine. I found myself thinking that the author came across as somewhat of a whiner and complainer. Yes, I realize things were different in the 60s than in the 80s when I played, but many of the experiences that were outlined in the book as torturous, matched the experiences we went through when I was there, and we didn't think much about them. Football is a rough sport, therefore you must develop tough people who are able to withstand rough experiences. This is what UT Coach Darrell Royal did. He did what it took to win football games, that was his job. While reading the book, I found myself asking the question, "If it was so hard, and you hated it and football so much, why didn't you leave immediately?" The answer is simple, football paid for an extremely valuable education. The blood, sweat and tears paid for the education that would direct the rest of your life. It was not worth jeapordizing this.

The author is quick to criticize the UT Football program, and coaches as caring only about themselves and their success, and giving no credit to the players. I disagree. The credit was given to the players in National and SWC Championships. What more credit do you want or feel you deserve? Championship rings and a top notch/free education. In addition, I have always felt that many of the strong values I have obtained in my life were due to my time playing football. It taught me to overcome, adapt, and to fight hard to reach your goals. I am confident that these values were learned by the author, and these are the values that have made him successful in life, and this is probably much more valuable than any football championship or college degree.

I believe that the way things were handled back then probably built stronger individuals. In fact, I have often found myself wishing that the "old-school" way of doing things did not go out of style. There is a general "softening" of our society that has been going on for at least a decade now, that could possibly be a major downfall to American society. It is all related. Yes football players were treated harder in the 60s, but did you see as many crimes committed or general dereliction of responsibilities? No, because these methods developed disciplined people.

At the time you are going through the hard practices, spring trainings, and off-season programs that he explains, they are painful and monotonous, and very much dreaded. But the funny thing about it is that these are also the moments that define a person. Do you persevere, overcome, and make it through, or do you pack up your tent and go home with your tail between your legs? The author does a good job of explaining his ability to "psyche" himself up to make it through practices, etc. which is a good thing. But the fact that the self-doubt, the animosity towards the football program and the coaching staff ruled his life are disappointing. He should have come to realize that those were golden moments of his life that would affect his success in the future. In fact, it would be expected to write a book like this as you are going through it, rather than later after it occurs. By the time it is over, you start appreciating these experiences as character building.

To make a long story short, I believe the author should have focused on the positive aspects and opportunities that he gained by being a part of the UT Football tradition, rather than describe some difficult instances and mock the entire UT Football program. But we all know that controversial topics are what sell books.

Topical criticisms aside, the book is well written and quick and easy to read.

One of the funniest series of books I have ever read, it is also a contender for most often read/lent as well. Although I don't, as a rule, like 'funny fantasy', I am very glad I didn't turn my nose up at this. It is great to see this back in print. If you have even a tiny sense of humor and like fantasy, this book (and the rest in the series) will keep you in stitches. Especially the 'book excerpts' at the beginning of each chapter.

This book was absolutely hilarious! I especially loved the part with the multitude of Brownies! I highly recommend this book to anybody who can find it. It's great for a laugh (make that a barrel of laughs)!

This book was about as good as the first. Mainly the same characters, and, well, the same plot, because they have not yet reached the city of a thousand delights.
The one this that I really enjoyed about this book was Tap, the Brownie. I don't know why, but I loved that little guy. To me, he and the other Brownies were the best part of this series.
There were some funny moments, such as when the enchanted shoe took the floor at the monsters convention, but overall it was just okay.
I'm still hoping that the next book will have a bit more depth, and maybe a little more development in the characters.
And, as the city of delights seems to have disappeared, I think I can guess what the plot of the next novel will be. So, I hope that they come up with an interesting way to rescue the city from the foul clutches of the Netherhells.
So far, this series is not a favorite of mine (I like my humorous fantasy to be funnier than I found these to be) but I have hopes for the last book. It promises to be very....interesting.

The first book of the Ebenezum trilogy, "Malady of Magicks," is one of the funniest works of fantasy ever written. The sequel, "Multitude of Monsters," is not quite up to the same level of excellence. It felt like Gardner (whose first book was originally a cluster of short stories) was still getting used to the whole "novel" way of writing.

This novel picks up where "Malady" left off, with the magic-allergic wizard Ebenezum, his hormone-addled apprentice Wuntvor, the relentlessly truthful demon Snarks, and the none-too-swift-but-has-a-big-club warrior Hendrek ("Doom!"). They're still heading for the City of Forbidden Delights (and Wuntvor still can't wait), but they encounter unexpected delays in the form of Brownies, Brax the Salesdemon ("Along with your hellishly small fine print!"), the beautiful witch Norei, and a collection of magical beasties who want equal recognition as unicorns. (There is a unicorn too, who appears a little obsessed with pointing out that Wuntvor is a virgin) Any problems? Well, the demons are invading, and Ebenezum seems to have gotten himself into a giant shoe...

This is quite different in its layout. While the first book was a series of interconnected vignettes, this is a single, longer story. As a result, there is a different feel to it. Gardner seems to get a little stuck on some continuing themes (like the monster organization) and they last a little longer and become a little more serious than they should.

That said, the characters are as delightful as ever. Poor Ebenezum still sneezes up a storm whenever he's near magic; Wuntvor falls instantly in love with any female characters nearby him. Hendrek is not as full-fleshed as the others; Snarks is still great fun, though a little less prominent. Other faves like the "Damsel and the Dragon" show up, as does the deliciously slimy salesdemon Brax and the fearsome Guxx Unfufadoo.

His humor is as fresh and witty as ever, full of lunatic situations and the crazy spells. The dialogue is just believable enough, without being too kooky. (There are some fantasy novels where you half-expect to hear a laugh track)

Oh, and "Bog Womblers." You'll know it when you see it. Good fun, and on to "Night in the Netherhells." (What say the publisher reprints the Wuntvor books, hmm?)

Naturally Modern: Creating Interiors With Wood, Leather, Stone, And Natural Fabrics is a practical how-to guide for creating handsome, functional home interiors using natural materials including wood, leather, stone, as well as textiles such as cotton, linen, and wool. Design writer Ros Shaw's "reader friendly", informative, and occasionally inspiring text is enhanced with 250 photographs of contemporary American, European, and Asian rooms that offer concepts and appearances that are beyond the vagaries of short-term fads and transient fashions. Highly recommended reading for the novice homeowner as well as the experienced interior designer, Naturally Modern is a welcome and invaluable contribution to any personal, professional, and community library interior design reference book collection.

This book is helpful if you want to know how to use and care for natural materials in and oustside the home. There were some good photos featuring modern interiors but not very many photos relating to modern retro, as I had hoped for. I would recomend this book to anyone wanting ideas on using different types of natural materials for their home.

This books explores ways in which we can substitute man-made materials for those that are found in nature, offering the reasons why nature is almost alwasy best. The book is aimed towards a contemporary design oriented audience, but the ideas can be adjusted to fit most decors. Beautifully photographed and well written, this book is a great addition to any design library.

A fantastic book. Provides lots of information of the various materials and textures and information on how the materials are processed and how to maintain them. Features unique products and accessories like calfskin chessboard and leather tiles.

You can't get through this book without cracking up laughing somewhere during it. I've never heard of Gardner before I read this book. Some people might not like it because they think it is far too silly. I'd say they are a bunch of prudes anyway. The adverage reader will love this book. If you like monty python and douglas adams you'll might like Gardner. It's not a typical fantasy book it makes fun of the genre. Irrepressably funny.

As with all the other books included in the much-lauded 'Ebenezum' series, this book does not let the reader down in the least! Each character is beautifully represented by Mr. Gardner, who shows his remarkable grasp of a world knocked slightly askew...one might draw parallels between this work and Douglas Adams' 'Hitchiker's Guide' series. A truly remarkable book on it's own, and much better when you read it's predecessors! Definately recommended reading!

"The field needs more humorists of this caliber," says Robert Asprin on the first page. Indeed! This is definitely better than Asprin's Myth.

This is the third book in a trilogy, and I haven't read the first two, but Craig Shaw Gardner does a commendable job in introducing the characters and their problems. Sure, they are caricatures, but that's what you'd expect from this kind of parody.

The good thing about the book is that it has a plot, that keeps moving, and things build upon one another. The story returns to things you've seen before, and there's some sense of anticipation. Why am I all enthusiastic about this? Because Asprin's Myth books lack these features.

So there it is - a book with silly characters, that encounter silly situations, and handle them with all the required seriousness. That's a good recipe for some laughs. Although I didn't get the "wow, this man really understands what people are about and how stupid they are" feeling that I get from a Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchett book, the book is enjoyable, mildly funny, and manages to keep the interest level high (unlike some Pratchett books).

This is the conclusion (well, sort of) of the Ebenezum trilogy. Here Gardner overcomes his slight roughness from "Multitude," and returns to top form.

Vushta, City of Forbidden Delights, is gone: demons have dragged it down into the Netherhells, and with it any hope of a cure for Ebenezum. Only a few wizards are left in what remains of it. Guxx Unfufadoo plans to invade the upper world. And, perhaps worst of all, two of Wuntvor's girlfriends have found out about each other!

What can be done? Wuntvor must lead a special expedition to the Netherhells, consisting of Hendrek, Snarks, Norei, and Cuthbert the talking sword. (Ebenezum is absent for most of this adventure) Among the problems: Commercialization has hit the Netherhells (much to Snarks' horror), Guxx plans to take over the world, Vushta is in the slimy hands of the demons, and Wuntvor has this magical hat that keeps spitting out ferrets, flowers and scarves...

The lunatic funniness of this one is too good to be described. The Netherhells are a hilarious spoof of the generally-accepted vision of hell and demons, coupled with a few sly jabs at commercialization and massive construction. We also have the climax of Wuntvor's very complex love life (I was afraid those girls were going to duke it out over him). We even have Cuthbert, a cowardly and fastidious talking sword who listens in from inside his scabbard and squeals in dismay when used to kill an enemy. And Wuntvor's army of ferrets is too hilarious for words, as is how he manages to mass-produce them ("Yes! No! No! Yes! Yes! Yes! No!").

The characters are still fun! (Hard for any author to keep up) Wuntvor is required to grow a little more in this book, since he has to LEAD an expedition, rather than bouncing around with his master. Snarks and Brax are three-dimensional in a delightfully two-dimensional manner; as is doom-speaking warrior Hendrek, and the psychotic Dealer of Death (yes, he's back, and he's squishing demons). The weak link is Norei, who doesn't have any of the quirks of the other characters. But if you bypass her, the cast is just perfect.

As ever, it's sparingly-written; we aren't overloaded with detail or unnecessary dialogue. Parents can utter a sigh of relief, since this trilogy is fine for kids. And any kid or teen who's read fantasy (or even fairy tales) will laugh themselves silly, just as well as the adults.

Wonderful conclusion (sort of) to the Ebenezum trilogy. (Reprint "Song of Wuntvor"! I want more of this kooky little universe)

the book ws ver good i loved it but the middle was alil boring it went to too much detail for me. between the two main characters it felt like the author was stalling for them for the readers to get to kno them as together. an she really didn't show vic to much either acouple of pages of his thoughts but nothing else. but the book was good an i enjoyed an i looke foward for others books of this author.

As the first African-American attorney at a prestigious New York City law firm, Maya Wilkins is confronted with a problem more pronounced than condescending peers. The case she has been given, to straighten the books of one of their clients, may prove that a senior partner of the firm has been embezzling money. When Maya is advised by the client to ignore her findings, her suspicions go on full alert. But Maya must be careful that she does not step on the wrong toes and jeopardize her career.

While trying to sort through her suspicions, she meets Victor, a songwriter and currently the mailroom supervisor at the firm. The attraction is instantaneous, but Maya has too much going on to pursue a relationship, plus she has reservations about what her colleagues will think. Victor has noticed Maya on more than one occasion, and has passed her off as a sister with her head in the clouds. When Maya seeks Victor's assistance in exposing the corporate thief, they are forced to reevaluate their initial assessments; the passion that luxuriates around them presents a most persuasive argument.

PACK LIGHT is Kim Shaw's debut novel and it is sexy, and suspenseful in a subtle way. Ms. Shaw presents a dramatic situation and still makes the story personable and embraceable. The fact that she did not include over-the-top drama is a plus for the author and the story. This is a writer to watch.

I like her style of writing. This isn't your typical book, she makes you believe that the same thing happens to you, because you see most of the time. I couldn't top reading the book cause it was real. I read it almost five times its that good.

I picked up this book not knowing what to expect. I just kinda needed something to read at the airport and on the plane. Man my journey went by quickly. I could not put this book down. She has a fantastic writing style that not only makes you experience everything the characters are experiencing but you then become vested in them. I would love to see stories of the side characters as well, especially the best friend. I have never heard of this author but if I see her name again I will certainly buy anything she writes. Bravo for making me believe in romance and getting back to the good old days of curling up with a fantastic book.

Great Book! By providing the reader with both plays the reader can draw his own conclusion wether he likes one or the other. THe package arrived on time as promised.

This is an amazing story. It has a great heart and humor, and you love the characters, despite their faults. Eliza and Professor Higgins are both terrific. This is definatly worth reading.

The play, My Fair Lady, was a delightful comedy

It's loverly, loverly, loverly! I couldn't stop reading it. I've seen the movie aout a gazillion times, and I have three recordings of "My Fair Lady" (The Original Broadway Cast and London Cast, both with Julie Andrews, and the movie Soundtrack), and the book is just what I needed. I could often quote the movie, and as my friend Mishi said, I'm "a perfect Eliza!", but the book's just wonderful. It's going to help me do this on stage one day . . .

This book is packed full of helpful information for aspiring writers from all venues. Ms. Stuart covers everything, from good writing habits to organizing submissions. The information is concise and easily referenced. It's practical advice is not only helpful, but encouraging as well.

Reluctantly, I bought Sally Stuart's Guide to Getting Published. I've read so many bad books about writing that I didn't want to feel I had wasted my money. Cautiously, I began to read it-prepared for a lot of words and little substance. Amazingly, I kept reading. This book exceeded my expectations. It's practical, well written, substantive, and Sally Stuart knows what she's writing about. This book could easily be used as an inexpensive self-study course on getting published. I hope this book sells a million copies.

One of the library books I've had around for awhile is Sally Stuart's Guide To Getting Published by, who else, Sally Stuart. I finished reading it over the last couple of days, and it's a so-so book. If you're just getting into the writing field, this would be a decent concise guide to many of the things you need to know for your writing career... getting started, the basics, the business of writing, and so on. If you've been writing (and getting published) for awhile or if you've read a number of other books on the same subject, you probably won't find any new ground covered here.

Also, Stuart is the author of the Christian Writers' Market Guide, and this book is meant to be somewhat of a companion piece to the Market Guide. As a result, you'll see more references to the religious writing market than you would normally see in a book on writing. It's not intrusive and the core information is still valid, but just be aware it's there if that's something that offends you.

Overall, not a bad book for those starting to explore the field, but not much to offer those who have "been there, done that".

As an acquisitions editor for a book publisher and a former magazine editor, I know the challenges for writers to get published. It involves hard work for anyone. I find way too many people are shooting out their work without seasoned advice on how to get published. Sally Stuart has cut through the haze with this well-crafted book.

If you are wondering anything from how to get ideas to how to determine if you are a writer, the topic is covered in the Getting Started section. In the basics section, you will examine format, editor-author relationships and rejection. Also this book covers copyrights, practical matters like how to set up your office (paper and electronic) plus answers the question when to go full-time or part-time. Also self-discipline and management issues are addressed. Finally specific sections emphasize marketing, writing for periodicals or books.

Every section of this book is packed with experienced wisdom such as, "What's the secret to my persistence? Early on I learned that rejection happens...And rejection should not stop you from submitting manuscripts." Or regarding the question of part-time or full-time, "Work hard, but be patient. The average business takes from 5 to 8 years to get off the ground and only achieves real financial success at about ten years. There's no reason to expect a writing career to blossom much faster."

Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned writer, you can profit from this book.

In this book, Teri Reisser, a marriage and family therapist and a pioneer in the field of abortion aftermath and healing, has presented an outline of the aftermath of abortion and its resolution in a "reader-friendly", gentle fashion. This is an excellent book for someone trying to make sense of an abortion experience. Working in the field of abortion healing myself, I know that many women have found this book most helpful to them.

This book definitely takes a religious perspective on the issue of abortion. As someone who is not a Christian, I found much of the advice to go contrary to my own religious beliefs about life and conception. If you are a Christian person who has been through an abortion, this book would probably be helpful to you as you recover. For me, many of the suggestions about thoughts and activities for healing just did not fit the situation. The book, like many others on this subject, also does not do much for women like me who needed a therapeutic abortion due to medical reasons. I am still waiting for someone to write a book that deals with the pain of having to abort a wanted pregnancy.

Reisser does a great job of exposing and describing the silent epidemic of pain and suffering that many post abortive women are experiencing. I found this book to be right on track with describing the feelings I have experienced 10 years or more after my abortion. It does a very good job of recognizing the importance of one's spiritual perspective and family situation in the healing process. From my perspective, it is not overly "Christian" in perspective.

This book is a god-send to the post abortive woman. I have suffered from this "solitary sorrow" for 17 years. This book, along with the study, Forgiven and Set Free, has changed my life.

I was one of the ones who believed I could never be healed from this terrible "choice". Please buy this book if you have had an abortion - your life will change dramatically.
