Biographies & Memoirs

This compelling new book addressing these complex issues in a clear and insightful manner. Drawn from a survey of nearly 200 women who have experienced rape or incest pregnancies, Victims and Victors reveals a seldom-heard truth: that most women who become pregnant through sexual assault do not want abortions! 
Victims and Victors leaps past the rhetoric that typically dominates the abortion issue to give women a chance to tell their stories. These are the real "experts" on this complex issue: the women who have been there. Just listen to what they have to say: 
"After my daughter was born, it was love at first sight . . . I know I made the right decision in having her." —Nancy "Cole" 
"Often I cry. Cry because I could not stop the attacks. Cry because my daughter is dead. And I cry because it still hurts." —Edith Young 
"I think that rape victims with pregnancies are discriminated against because people seem to think you're nuts to have a baby by a man who raped you. We are looked upon as being liars, or stupid." —Sharon "Bailey" 
"They say abortion is the easy way out, the best thing for everyone, but they are wrong. It has been over 15 years, and I still suffer." —"Rebecca Morris" 
"I thank God for the strength He gave me to go through the bad times and for all of the joy in the good times. I will never regret that I chose to give life to my daughter." —Mary Murray 
"Abortion does not help or solve a problem—it only compounds and creates another trauma for the already grieving victim by taking away the one thing that can bring joy." —Helene Evans 
"The effects of the abortion are much more far-reaching than the effects of the rape in my life." —"Patricia Ryan" 
"I, having lived through rape, and having raised a child ‘conceived in rape,' feel personally assaulted and insulted every time I hear that abortion should be legal for rape and incest. I feel that we're being used to further the abortion issue, even though we've not been asked to tell our side of the story." —Kathleen DeZeeuw 
In Victims and Victors, 20 women like the ones quoted above share what it is like to face a pregnancy resulting from rape or incest. They speak bravely and candidly of the pain of sexual assault, of the sadness and trauma of abortion, and of the joy and healing of giving birth. 
Victims and Victors answers these important questions—questions every pro-lifer should be asking: 
What do women really need when facing a pregnancy resulting from sexual assault, and how can we best meet those needs? 
How can pro-lifers hold on to their principles while providing compassionate and understanding support for pregnant sexual assault victims at the same time? 
How can legislators best convey a pro-woman, pro-life philosophy when faced with questions regarding sexual assault and abortion? 
Why are rape and incest pregnancies the "cornerstone" for abortion on demand, and what can pro-lifers do to counteract this? 
How can women who have experienced sexual assault pregnancies share the truth about their experiences in a way that will truly make a difference? 
You will find the answers to these questions in Victims and Victors. It lays out a clear argument against abortion in cases of sexual assault and gives pro-lifers the tools they need to combat the argument that abortion is helpful—or even necessary—for women facing a sexual assault pregnancy. 
This book is a "must read" for everyone involved in the pro-life movement. Order your copy of Victims and Victors today!

As strong as the wind, as deep as a canyon: A girl's adventure story

Teen & Young Adult

Diagnosed at the young age of 38 with Inflammatory Breast Cancer, Dorothy A. Geary was shocked to learn that the five-year survival rate for her type of cancer at the time was zero percent. Initially given no hope, Dottie, who still had young children at home, was thrown into the underworld of the worst breast cancer nightmare. After extensive experimental treatments, there are now no visible signs of cancer—eight years after her original diagnosis. Her story of survival is the best translation of H O P E any woman might find. Convinced that more could be done to offer comfort and hope to other women with breast cancer, Dorothy set about to fill a gap on the resource book shelves. After surveying the books available, she found there were "large medical books that husbands and dads do not read, and children couldn't understand. There are women to women books... showing actual photographs of naked women with mastectomy scars and reconstruction...that couldn't be shared with anyone but my husband (and he only looked once)." What was 'out there' seemed either too simple, too dismal or too cerebral. In trying to reach out to the younger women of child-bearing age being diagnosed with more aggressive cancers—the average age of aggressive cancer is 35—Dorothy has touched women of all ages with her insights, art, compassion and gentle humor. The content of this book is not heavy or academic. It addresses the very palpable issues and feelings each person experiences with the diagnosis, treatment and healing of breast cancer. The simple sketches reach to the heart of our most basic fears, aloneness, and colliding feelings, as we deal with the emotional, physical, spiritual and familial implications of what is happening to our bodies, when they are assaulted by cancer. This book, placed on the table among others will be the first book patients choose. It reads quickly in a hospital or waiting room. Even though it talks openly about cancer, no one will be embarrassed to leave it on the coffee table in their living room. It's cute and written simply enough that even small children can understand. You'll laugh, and cry, and laugh again as Dorothy uses her experiences to help you through your journey. Before You, There Was Me... is a precious resource for any woman or family experiencing breast cancer. A merciful and hopeful gift from another survivor! Every physician who must share the diagnosis, every center that provides treatment, every health professional who offers services, every caretaker or loved one who wants to support a woman with breast cancer all the way to wellness, should have this gem of a book within arm's reach.
