Your decision to have an abortion was complicated and personal, and it was the only choice to make at the time.

You're feeling alienated, unloved, and unsupported by every anti-choice, anti-abortion voice who seems to care more about your unborn baby than they care about you.

What more could you possibly have to do to get past the pain and carry on with your life in joy and peace?This memoir tells my story-how I reached a place where I chose abortion, the aftermath of that decision, and the specific steps I took and tools I used to heal. If you are still searching for healing after an abortion, my hope is that here you encounter loving, kind support. May this book inspire you to take the next step on your journey back to wholeness. May it also provide some solace in the knowledge that you do not walk this path alone.Love, peace, and healing are yours.

"What? Are you pregnant? Oh no! How will I ever get through medical school if there's a baby! Without you working I'll never make it! Oh, my Father! It's taking every penny I make already! Why didn't you prevent this! Oh! My Father! My Father!" He stood up and paced the floor. Elizabeth was not off to a good start in life, unwanted even before she was born. Fortunately, the tiny baby was placed in the loving care of her paternal grandparents, where she lived for the first three years of her life. Then, her abusive father arbitrarily decided that she belonged with her parents and unceremoniously ripped her from the only safe, secure home she had ever known.In spite of her turbulent childhood and teen years, Elizabeth managed to go to college and become a physical therapist. Faced with tragedy after tragedy, she decided to temporarily leave her old New England farmhouse and hit the road as a traveling physical therapist. You'll laugh and cry with her as she traverses the country in her forty-foot fifth wheel with Gracie Allen, her faithful cat. As she survives a broken heart, a blow-out on a busy Florida freeway, a tornado in Kentucky, and a pain-crazed, gun-wielding patient, she grows ever more dependent upon the God who promised to never leave her nor forsake her.Journey with Elizabeth as she makes "forever friends" from coast to coast, savors the beauty that is America, and cherishes the home on a rocky Maine shore that is her anchor point throughout her travels-and realize that the same God who never left her alone will never leave you, either.
