Comedian Jim Gaffigan once said in a comedy sketch relating to having more children "Imagine you're drowning and someone hands you a baby". While it is funny in the sketch, in real life having someone hand you a baby or becoming pregnant unexpectedly can be one of the most significant challenges a woman ever has to face. What is she to do? Life was already challenging enough. Now she must completely change her lifestyle for an unexpected season, rearrange many of her plans for the future, face confrontation and possible loss of relationships with those she loves AND spend money she may not have all because of one mistake or worse, something that happened to her that was entirely outside of her control. How alone she must feel!
In this situation, nearly everyone around her has an opinion and none of them feel right. They all come with a very high price. Unfortunately there is one voice she doesn't get to hear. She feels it but it is a faint whisper. And she is so overwhelmed by all of the voices around her, the whisper often just can't be heard. But if the whisper could be heard, she might hear something like you'll find in this short book.
If you know someone who is experiencing an unplanned pregnancy, please put this book in her hands. If you are experiencing an unplanned pregnancy, this book is for you. Take some time away from all of the noise and listen. Listen closely. What do you hear?
