/ Preface
This is the author’s fourth book in The Christian Fiction Library™ series. Normally, in a work of fiction the characters and events portrayed are fictitious. And usually, any similarity to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental and was not the intent of the author. However, in this book, while the characters are indeed fictitious, the story is based on a true life event which actually did take place, and develops amidst the varying tragedies possible on the human scene, but which can all be overcome by God’s grace, compassion, and love.
Trusting all will enjoy the book!

Character is forged from the choices we make from childhood onward!
CHAPTER ONE
/ Stubborn from day one
For some unknown reason most people assume that stubbornness is inherited from one of our parents at birth. Actually, it is inherited from one of our ancestors, but from one which goes right back to the beginning of time. For what needs to be grasped here is that stubbornness in human beings started the day Adam and Eve sinned against God in the Garden of Eden. In other words, stubbornness is simply a display of the human pride which says, I want to do it my way instead of your way.
And it becomes sin when as a believer we want to carry out our own will, instead of God’s will for our lives.
So as Jennifer was growing up, that stubborn streak which became evident to all who knew her, but especially to her immediate family, was but the result of having reached the age of accountability, being the age at which a child becomes conscious of right and wrong, and freely chooses the wrong. From that moment on, which is known only to God, one is now accountable to God for one’s own sin. In other words, from that moment onward, one is being held responsible by God for all of one’s thoughts, actions, and words!
Another thing which we would do well to remember about stubbornness is that it can be curbed, or a better way of putting it is that it can be channeled. In other words, it can be used for constructive purposes instead of destructive ones in the person in which it is being displayed. And the younger a person is when this is done, the better the possibility of a positive outcome. That is why God says to every set of parents on earth what He does at Proverbs 22:6, Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it.
Thankfully for Jennifer, or Jen, as she came to be called from an early age, her parents were Christians, and they knew God’s word from their daily reading of it, not only for their own benefit, but also for the wellbeing of their children. And so Jen was gently and lovingly steered by her parents into ways of behaving which were not only pleasing to them, but more importantly, which they knew to be pleasing to God. What this meant in practical terms then is that Jen grew up with her early stubborn streak having been channeled in a more constructive way seen as an independently-minded spirit, in that she learned to think and reason things out for herself before acting or speaking.
Character is definitely built upon the foundation of choices that we make from the time we are old enough to make conscious choices. And it takes even more character to learn from one’s poor choices and thereby avoid making them over again in the future. This is another area where Jen was blessed, in that she not only learned early on to discern the right from the wrong, based at first on her parent’s early instruction, but then later on her own reading of God’s word as she grew older. Little did she know that this would serve her well at a time in her life that she would need it most. For there was a day coming, known only to God, when she would indeed be between a rock and a hard place!
The outcome of our life can be likened to an artist either taking a brush to canvass or else taking a handful of paint and throwing it at the canvass! In other words, our life can either have a discernable pattern with beautiful symmetry, or else can be but a total chaotic mess!
CHAPTER TWO
/ Daughter like mother in more ways than one
Jen grew up in the years after the Supreme Court made it legal to have an abortion in all fifty states. And one of her mother’s lifelong passions, both before and after that fateful decision, was to fight for the life of the unborn, which God regarded as a human being from the moment of conception, while most societies see them as a gooey blob of cells to dispose of at one’s leisure. Therefore, it was not unusual for Jen to tag along with her mother when they placarded in front of an abortion clinic, or in front of the state capitol building when the funding bill for Planned Parenthood was expiring and a new one was being proposed. Those first few years Jen went because she had to, but by the time she reached the teen years, she was going because she wanted to.
What was also out of the ordinary in this scenario is that Jen’s mother, Frances, whom most people shortened to Fran,
was a lawyer, specializing in defending those in the anti-abortion movement
