Title: Life Interrupted (The Scoop On Being A Young Mom) Author: Tricia Goyer Publisher: Zondervan ISBN: 0-310-25316-0 Genre: Inspirational/Teens/Nonfiction
One day you’re a typical student. You’re working part-time at McDonald’s to pay for your clothes and car. The next day, you’re a mother-to-be. You’re confused and scared. Emotional and standoffish. You feel like a kid, but now with a huge responsibility.
Life Interrupted is a great book for teenage girls to read. Written for young mothers, Ms. Goyer has shared some of her own personal experiences as an unwed mom, as well as personal comments and stories of many other girls. Life Interrupted will be good for any teenage girl to read, especially if they are sexually active. The book will show what they may experience if they get pregnant.
A lot of the girls suffered rejection from their friends and boyfriends. One day they were standing in the school hallway talking with their friends, and the next day they’re a mother-to-be, and their boyfriend doesn’t want anything to do with them, going on to a new gorgeous hottie, who isn’t pregnant.
Life Interrupted will help a girl know what to expect and to work through her raging emotions after she discovers she’s pregnant. What did other girls experience? What worked for them? Did people accept them after they had a baby or were they treated badly? These questions and more will be answered in Life Interrupted.
This is the ideal book for a church library or a pregnancy crisis center. I recommend picking up a copy today and donating it to a pregnancy crisis center for the pregnant girls to read. I really think this book will help. | |
