Separated into two distinct sections that chronicled events during separate time frames of one woman&#8217;s life, the story revealed how certain choices Sandy made as a teen affected herself and the lives of others decades later. As always, Whitlow&#8217;s writing reflects his vast legal knowledge and manages to educate the reader without seeming to do so. I was beginning to think that the author had actually written a book without his usual trademark suspense when it jumped up and surprised me. I love it when an author can surprise me that way.<\/p>\n<p>I thought Mr. Whitlow did an excellent job of showing the double standards about what is &#8220;politically correct&#8221; depending on which side of the issue one chooses. Although in this novel the abortion issue was highlighted, we are seeing more and more issues where &#8220;correct&#8221; behavior is slanted toward the liberal side and conservative and\/or Christian actions are portrayed as bigoted, mean spirited or ignorant. If only we had more men and women who could see and convey the truth as clearly as Robert Whitlow.<\/p>\n<p>While I can&#8217;t say that &#8220;The Choice&#8221; is my favorite book by Robert Whitlow (I still lean toward &#8220;The List&#8221;), it is nevertheless an excellent book and one that most people would benefit from reading.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10857\" title=\"divider2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png 317w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2-150x28.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>This book was provided for review by LitFuse Publicity.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/whitlow.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-12769\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"Robert Whitlow\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/whitlow.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"175\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/whitlow.jpg 175w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/whitlow-125x150.jpg 125w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/whitlow-150x180.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 175px) 100vw, 175px\" \/><\/a>Robert Whitlow is the best-selling author of legal novels set in the South and winner of the prestigious Christy Award for Contemporary Fiction.

Two very different roads. The choice will change everything.<\/p>\n<p>Even as a pregnant, unwed teen in 1974, Sandy Lincoln wanted to do the right thing. But when an ageless woman approached her in a convenience store with a mysterious prophecy and a warning, doing the right thing became even more unclear. She made the best choice she could . . . and has lived with the consequences.<\/p>\n<p>More than thirty years later, a pregnant teen has come into her life, and Sandy\u2019s long-ago decision has come back to haunt her. The stakes rise quickly, leaving Sandy with split seconds to choose once more. But will her choice decision bring life . . . or death?<\/p>\n<p>See what other bloggers are saying about &#8220;The Choice&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/litfusegroup.com\/blogtours\/13441739\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ROBERT&#8217;S NOOK COLOR GIVEAWAY:<\/strong><br \/>\nSuggested Title: Win a Nook Color from Robert Whitlow in The Choice Giveaway.
