Choices. Everybody has to make them -and live with the results. Both choices and results can range from simple to world-shattering. The controversial Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion opened up a wide field of choice for women. Adoption or abortion? How ironic that bringing forth life could be a dream come true for one person and a nightmare to another; or that one person's sorrow at a birth could lead to another's happiness!
Yes, everybody makes choices. Take Richard's choice to do volunteer work at a women's clinic in a small Nebraska town. As a minister he abhors abortion; as a counselor he must openly outline a woman's options. According to Harry Miller, an influential board member, the minister's actions are at conflict-but then Harry has personal reasons for wanting him out of the clinic and the church. At the clinic Richard counsels Cybil, a college freshman who is always the winner in her game of manipulation-until now. Beautiful, spoiled, frightened, single, and pregnant, she too must make some difficult choices about life and love. Meanwhile, in California Maggie and Jeff encounter a different set of choices: in vitro fertilization, adoption, childlessness-not the things dreams are made of, especially for an active Mormon couple who yearn for the wholeness that children bring.
Choices-who knows how far-reaching one decision will be? Or how many lives will be changed? Choices-an intriguing novel that brings together a cast of characters who contribute to the Choice.
