![]() ![]() ![]() His mother the next morning is describes has having disappointment in her eyes despite the smile on her face as she makes breakfast for her son. I felt the tension in the room as Isaac told his father what he had done and I felt for both of them, but the reaction of his father is one that I feel most parents SHOULD hope to have. He is now connected to this girl whether he wants to be or not. He has sinned, and his sin has caused a difficult situation not only for him, but for a girl he hardly knows. I’m old enough now where I’m able to look at the parents of Isaac and feel their pain and disappointment in the actions of their son. It’s a simple plot, but the emotions behind the actions and decisions of the characters is what really moves the readers. ![]() From here the emotions fly on both ends as they fight over the life of this unplanned child. This young woman, Rebecca, decides that she is not going to keep the baby and asks for money from Isaac for an abortion. He makes some bad decisions and because of this ends up getting a girl he hardly knows pregnant. ![]() The story begins with Isaac, a young man of faith and conviction, letting go of his inhibitions and drinking too much at a work event. It’s beautiful, it’s sad, it’s hopeful, it’s true. I want to make this a simple review, but there’s too much to think about. One of this year’s newest Catholic YA novels is difficult to describe. ![]()
