I have been really hurting since my abortion. I was truly looking for a book that would not make me feel worse about what happened then i already felt but that could offer me hope and understanding. I decided to purchase this book after I had been referred to it. I am half way through the book and haven't been able to put it down. The author really acknowledges the pain that I and others have gone through on behalf of the choice they made. I can't tell you how many times I have felt like I was going crazy because people couldn't understand why I was depressed about the decision I made. I cant change what I did but at least this book offers me the solace and peace that I have been looking for since. Hopefully, in time things will become easier. I definitely recommend this book!

I gave this book to a friend who was still suffering years after her abortion. She found the book very therapeutic. Just telling women who have an abortion to get over it is not working. Women need to have a way to heal after an abortion both physically AND emotionally. This book helps women work through the pain in a totally non-judgmental way. I highly recommend it to others who are suffering following their decision to have an abortion.

This book is wonderful. It deals with a topic no one seems to want to address which is the grief and symptoms women experience after abortion. I have relied on this book to help the many post-abortive women I have befriended through the years. Even in my job I came across employees who would open up about a past abortion. The women I know who have had abortions had many different problems, some were sexually promiscuous, some were alcoholics, some were repeat aborters, some had rage issues...and this book so clearly explained the great pain they were feeling and helped me be more compassionate to them. I would recommend this book to every man and woman in the WORLD if I could!

I was disappointed with the book considering the price i paid. The book itself was in ok condition but there was lots of marking within the pages that are not of any benefit. I thought it was too pricely for it's condition.
