Book Review of The Atonement Child

The Atonement Child
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 1


I am not really a fan of fiction but this such a great book by Francine Rivers! It really hit close to home for me because my daughter was conceived in rape... and it was hard reading what people thought and said about her child knowing that could have been my daughter. Each child is a blessing - no matter the circumstances surrounding their conception. I felt like the book showed a wide variety of opinions and views on abortion - especially how in our world that many "good" people still believe abortion is okay in the circumstance of rape and incest. The lead character wrestles with this - knowing that people would not fault her for having an abortion under these circumstances - and yet sees the value of her child despite it all.
