The Atonement Child by Francine Rivers

This was a great piece of fiction with a powerful message. I'd like to see this book become a movie because it's message could impact many and it seems more people are willing to spend a couple hours watching a movie instead reading.

Back of Book Says:

In one horrific, terrifying moment, Dynah Carey’s perfect life is shattered by rape, her future irrevocably altered by an unwanted pregnancy, her doting family torn apart. Her seemingly rock-solid faith is pushed to the limits as she faces the most momentous choice of her life- to embrace or end the untimely life within her.
