This is a well written story addressing a tough topic...sexual abuse of a 5 year old. Don't let that scare you away. It's not detailed in that respect. We get the mother's story of finding out that her brother in law and sister have been taking pornographic pictures in their garage, and her son is a victim. She is surrounded by people who love the Lord and show her her need of Him. It is a beautiful and captivating story.

This book was superbly written with dignity and truth. Nancy Rue holds nothing back when getting the point across of the devastation that comes from incest or sexual molestation; not only devastation to the victim, but to the family members it effects.

A very profound book with a heart-wrenching message.

I very much enjoyed this story. It was sad and dealt with some very disturbing issues, but was still very uplifting and inspirational. A nice Christian fiction novel.

Nancy Rue deals with a very difficult subject in a perceptive and compassionate manner. The Holy Spirit was obviously in control of her writing as she penned this story. Everyone should read this book!

Rue is an author who makes you think, possibly deeply, as her characters struggle to resolve life with faith. Antonia's Choice is no exception. It deals with real life situations and realistic characters while delivering a message of hope and redemption.

This is the 2nd book I've read by Nancy Rue and both were very compelling. Didn't want to put them down.

This is a story about God's mercy, compassion and neverending love for us. It's also about the dark side of evil and mainly about forgiveness.

Wonderful!

This is a book that should be read by every mother. It will make you cry; it will make you angry. But it also will show you the truth about child sexual abuse. My daughter was abused by a relative & I wish I had known some of the good information from this book to help me with daughter.
