Unplanned Brenda Kusenberger

A young college student finds herself in a distressing predicament sure to alter her life forever: an unplanned pregnancy. This debut novel presents an uncommon personal journey through this age-old circumstance, in memoir form. Analyzing secular and Christian approaches to her internal struggle, she battles through the process of setting aside treasured innocence and freedom for the benefit of a new life, imposed upon her. Believing pain and rejection have created an impossible situation to see beyond, she accepts she is unworthy of wonder as a young, pregnant girl and that settling for dissatisfaction from a substandard life is the best she can hope for ...and then the horizon changes. Moving within an ever-present mystery, she ultimately finds her unplanned resolution a year after her baby is born. This book is for anyone who has experienced the pressures associated with a decision regarding an unborn life, anyone struggling with unprecedented turmoil, or anyone needing to know an example of God's presence in the world today.
