He didn't know that I had no intention of having an abortion—I had waited three years, just to hear him say in person that he loved me.

    The last two books are angst-filled. The first one is a good, inspirational novel, a story of a young man's growth through hardship, starting in the 1980s.

They actually dug up people and burned them on the spot!
