Susie is a young girl who made wrong choices and finds herself unmarried and pregnant, with no help from home. Jeff is a young man who wants to help Susie partly because he feels responsible since she got messed up at his wild party. They both have become believers in Christ and Jeff is there for Susie when she decides to put up her newborn for adoption. This story was well written and dealt with some very tough choices people find themselves in when they yield to sin. I was encouraged by the fact that it showed in the story that someone can resist temptation and do the right thing. (

When confronted with an unwanted pregnancy, the decision to abort is often the answer, but this book presents another solution: adoption and looks into the complexities of that decision. I like that the baby becomes a focus of the decision.

This easy-to-read Christian fiction is not just for young adults; this senior citizen enjoyed reading it. In addition to looking closely at an edgy problem, romance blooms, bringing a roller coaster of emotions. Although it is the second in the series, it can be read without having read the first title, It's Not About Me. Discussion questions are included. (

Book description

Susie passed out while drinking at Jeff’s party and later discovered she’s pregnant. She has no idea who the father is and considers having an abortion, but instead decides to place her baby for adoption. Following through ends up being more wrenching than she imagined, but she’s determined to do the right thing for her baby.

Jeff feels guilty that Susie was taken advantage of at his party and offers to marry her so she won’t have to give up her baby, like his birth mother did with him. But Susie refuses, insisting he should he marry someone he loves. Can he convince her that his love is genuine before it’s too late? Can she make him understand that it’s not about him—it’s about what’s best for her child?
