Book Description

June 1, 1999
First published in German and French, the bestseller My Unknown Child is a sensitive, firsthand account of a single abortion. On the surface, Noreen Riols had every reason to get an abortion. With the birth of her first child came an overwhelming postpartum depression. When she became pregnant again, her doctor, her psychiatrist, and even her vicarcounseled her to have an abortion. For Noreen, however, the real devastation was just beginning. With candor and tenderness, she takes readers on a journey through the emotional and spiritual ravages of abortion. This is a brave work that infuses readers with compassion for those who suffer from the choice of abortion and reveals their true hope for healing: Jesus Christ.

5.0 out of 5 stars A message of hope and forgiveness, March 21, 2000
This review is from: My Unknown Child (Paperback)
This is the autobiographical account of a woman's painful journey through the darkness of depression and the grief of rejecting her unborn child. It is only when she 'throws away her crutches' that she allows herself to find a deeper relationship with God. It is a tender and moving story told with a lightness of voice and a lack of self-pity that makes it a surprisingly easy book to read. It is a book that will appeal to so many people who are searching for meaning in their lives. It has particular resonance for anyone who has suffered an abortion, and for anyone who has suffered from depression. Finally, it is a tale of hope, reconciliation, forgiveness and peace. I recommend this book unreservedly.

This review is from: My Unknown Child (Paperback)
If you are a women seeking forgiveness from the Lord and from yourself because of an abortion, you have to read this book!! It really makes you understand what Jesus did on the cross for us!! It shows you that the Lord has a perfect plan for all of us; we just need to follow His narrow path and live our lives for Him! Thank you so much Noreen, for sharing your story; it really opened my eyes and helped me sort out some of the feelings I was experiencing!! God Bless!

By 
Mary (Vancouver, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This story opened my eyes to the devistating effects on the emotional turmoil a woman goes through after having an abortion. I always wondered if a women has any remorse and or feeling of a child they aborted. This answered some of my questions. I highly recommend this book.
