  <default_description>Looking away, I asked as nonchalantly as my rapidly beating heart would allow, &quot;So you're the kind of guy that believes in fairy-tales.&quot;    &quot;I am. And you're the kind of girl that believes in the reality of here and now.&quot;    &quot;When you're pregnant and living with your brother and his wife, reality seems like a safer place to stay.&quot;     Suzanne Quincy was raised by an abusive mother and an apathetic father. In an effort to escape her upbringing, Suzie chooses the numbing effects of drugs and alcohol--and the accompanying lifestyle. She reaches a crossroad when she discovers she is pregnant. Will she listen to the world and abort the baby, or will she listen to the conscience she has ignored her entire life? The choice she makes sends her down a path of self-discovery. This story is about choices and consequences, laughter and tears, and finding the truth in the midst of it all.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Best LDS book I've read in quite a while (as of jan 06 when I wrote this).  Excellent story telling ability.  Handles a serious topic (adoption) extremely well.  Teaches about forgivenes- especially forgiving ourselves, repentance, the power of the priesthood, and LDS family services.  Story of Suza...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/67321177">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[LOVED this book! I couldn't put it down and read it in a week. It's one of the best fiction books written about adoption. It really gives you the perspective of the birth mother. I cried during the chapter when she gives her baby to the adoptive parents. It also helped me remember that my trials are...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53037478">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I first hear about this author on the blogs of other local authors.  It has been many years since I've read &quot;Mormon&quot; fiction regularly and was not sure how this would go.  Thankfully, I found it to be very well written and quite compelling.  The main character was great---I found her to be...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59459900">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was our book for Book Club this month. It is the first Deseret Book title I have read in many years.  It is about a young girl who has horrible homelife and finds herself pregnant. She ends up moving in with her Mormon brother in Utah.  At times I was dry heaving in this book because of all of ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/17759934">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really enjoyed reading this book. I don't often like reading LDS fiction because it seems stereo-typically cheesy sometimes. I guess I was just in the right mood for this one. Plus, I have a lot of respect for moms who give their babies up for adoption, I really do believe it is one of the purest ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59584544">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was such a different book than I usually read. It was hard and it was sad, but it was also full of hope and understanding. It tackled tough topics and the characters struggles were intense and real. Excellently written story and dialog. Can't wait to pick up her other books!]]></body>
