Monday Review by the Book Dragon: A powerful pro-life story

The Book Dragon has read For Eden's Sake by T. M. Gaouette and gives it five claws!
My review: Though not my usual genre to read, this story grabbed me from the beginning as Isaac, a sympathetic young man, is caught up in circumstances that lead him to break a vow of purity until marriage, resulting in a pregnancy. The story is also partly told from Rebecca's point of view, and at first she is not a sympathetic character. The reader can feel Isaac's anguish as he tries valiantly to do the right thing and atone for his sin. This is a powerful pro-life story with realistic, flawed characters, and you'll be cheering for Isaac every step of the way! Recommended!

Note: This book is featured on the Catholic Teen Books site.
