A Good Book

Last night I stayed up late and read a book... a whole book in one sitting! It was amazing and so relaxing just to lay down and read. I need to do that more often. Joe bathed the kids while I read and then I put Lily to sleep and continued reading while Joe put Tommy to sleep. It was so nice to relax and get lost in a good book. I couldn't put it down. My friend recommended the book Unplanned on her blog so I ordered a copy right away on Amazon and it came in the mail yesterday. I would highly recommend this book to anyone! It is a very interesting true story. I was in tears while reading the 1st chapter.

The book description:

Abby Johnson quit her job in October 2009. That simple act became a national news story because Abby was the director of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Texas who, after participating in her first actual abortion procedure, walked across the road to join the Coalition for Life.

Unplanned is a heart-stopping personal drama of life-and-death encounters, a courtroom battle, and spiritual transformation that speaks hope and compassion into the political controversy that surrounds this issue. Telling Abby's story from both sides of the abortion clinic property line, this book is a must-read for anyone who cares about the life versus rights debate and helping women who face crisis pregnancies.
