The Choices She Made

What would you choose in her situation? In 1997, seventeen-year-old Madeline Williams is torn between continuing her family ranching legacy and accepting her Army-bound boyfriend's marriage proposal. But when an assault by John David Billings, the son of a wealthy rancher, leaves her pregnant, Madeline sacrifices both options, choosing to leave town and raise the child alone. Thirteen years later, when she returns to her hometown, Madeline is shocked to learn John David is on trial—for assaulting other women. He has hired a killer lawyer, and the district attorney is concerned about getting a conviction. If she testified, John David could finally land behind bars, but if she unveils her past, she risks exposing her daughter to serious repercussions. She has trusted God throughout her entire life, but can she trust him to carry her through this trial? For fans of Francine Rivers's The Atonement Child
