What am I going to do? What is my family going to think? What will my boyfriend think? What will he do?

These are just a few of the many questions that might go through the mind of a teenage female (soon to be woman) that discovers that she is or might be pregnant. Unfortunately, if the test proves positive, her life as she knew it ends and those personal questions become extremely important. Not only will she be bombarded with emotional stress but financial stress to supply healthcare and support for a ‘new edition’ to the world. Within such a short amount of time, a young woman is forced to make life-changing decisions at a time she is extremely emotional and least equipped to do so. What on Earth could lighten the load for a young woman who has suddenly found herself with this seemingly unbearable responsibility?

The answer to this question, in my opinion, is the following. "Educate yourself. Make a plan. Take action." Author Dorrie Williams-Wheeler has written "The Unplanned Pregnancy Book for Teens and College Students" for exactly this purpose.

"The Unplanned Pregnancy Book for Teens and College Students" is less than 120 pages, however, it is an encyclopedia of information. It could serve as the OnStar^© for any young woman who has become lost in the wilderness of unplanned pregnancy. Its advice provides them something they don’t always know they have—Options.

Confusion without hope becomes destruction. This book provides hope. Not only is it packed with information on adoption, safe haven laws, paternity testing, financial assistance and valuable phone numbers and web resources, it contains stories of young women who have been in the same situation. It contains stories, from young women who’ve been in those shoes, who were still able to forge ahead. These stories reassure young women that they are not alone and that they are not helpless.

In the spirit of the author, I believe I can say that no young woman wants to find herself in this situation. It is a situation that people wish not to discuss until they are faced with it. I will also go further to say that you might not need this book on your bookshelf…however, I would not necessarily recommend you buy this book for yourself. Those in need of it are probably not thinking "Is there a book out there for me?" Nevertheless, I guarantee you that within the last 5 years, or maybe even now, you’ve known a young woman who desperately needed this book. What these young women need is education and support and this book more than provides this for them. Buy it for them…because for them, it is essential reading.
