The title of this book is so apropos.There are babies having babies before they've even had a life. My heart goes out to them and I wish every girl "caught" in this situation could get their hands on this book. I also wish this book had been around when my own daughter was one of them.

Tricia Goyer has drawn richly on personal experience and that of other teens facing the reality of becoming a mother, knowing their carefree youth is gone forever. Goyer writes with compassion, offering hope, tips and tricks to get through the difficult times and situations that these very young mothers are totally unequipped and unprepared to handle.

I applaud the decision these girls make to have and keep their baby. It is a very brave choice they have made. And if there is even the remotest chance I can do so, this book will be my gift of hope and promise to them. Well done, Tricia!

The insight in this book lies not only in what it says, but in the style--readable--bits of information connected by the strand of young motherhood. The honor and hope represented in these pages for younger mothers is priceless. Encouragement is abounding in these pages, along with the truth of how difficult this situation can be. Tricia Goyer writes with a compassion of one who knows first hand.

I received a copy of the book to review for www.roadtoromance.ca and was happily surprised at the book's frank and honest way of relaying information. This book will be not only a helpful resource to young moms and dads but also to grandparents, teachers, friends and others. With quick snatches of quotes, relife experiences and others Tricia Goyer has assembled a must have manual. I will be giving copies to the local Crisis Pregnancy center. I wish we had it when we had six young girls get pregnant in our small town church.

The thing that disturbs me about the book however, are reviews like the one from Lori in Waterloo on Amazon. com. She says this:

This book contains plagarized information, exploiting the struggles of the very mothers it offers to support. Very unethical which suggests that it is very unChristian.

I wrote to the author and asked her about this. She is very upset that someone would slander her like this, because she has obtained permission from everyone's work she uses in the book. But mostly she's worried that this book won't get to where it needs to be because of some odd jealous paranoia from a few.

Once I recieved the information from the author and have no reason to doubt her as she is a credial writer with great references (and needless to say her publisher and MOPS are no strangers to the legalities of the business) I have no qualms about the five star rating and the high recommendation I am giving it as well.

What an incredible support for young moms. Ms. Goyer was able to put her considerable experience with teen moms to work in writing this book. She has dedicated endless hours to mentoring and supporting young moms, and this book is an extension of that work. Young moms who are willing to invest the time in reading this book will find themselves blessed.

Life Interrupted is the book I wish had been available when my sixteen-year old sister gave birth to my nephew.
I think had she had this she would have made wiser decisions for herself and her son. This book is a wonderful
blend of stories, resources, and pragmatic advice. The layout makes it easy to read and the chapter topics are
relevant to today's teens. I believe this book is not only for the moms who get pregnant, but for every teenaged
girl. Tricia Goyer has done a marvelous job of creating a resource that needs to be in every school in America as
well every church.
