    Just Another Girl's Story: A Memoir on Finding Redemption

    Written by Laura Eckert

    Narrated by Alice Silva

    3.5/5

    About this audiobook

    At the tender and problematic ages of 16 and 17, Laura Eckert twice found herself as a patient at an abortion clinic, after her parents had discovered that she was pregnant. Laura was addicted to sex with her step-brother. Neither of them cared about the possible consequences of unprotected sex. The aftermath of her abortion experiences led Laura to become depressed, drink alcohol excessively and feel the need to be isolated from those who loved and cared for her. 

    In her memoir, Laura relives those traumatic teenage experiences in an honest and genuine teen autobiography that many will find shocking, harrowing and provocative, and yet implores sympathy and holds the reader spellbound at the same time. Read about her plight and her path to finding the peace and healing that she craved, as she tackles controversial topics of teen abortion, teen pregnancy, teen drinking and alcoholism and sex addiction. Laura’s husband Shawn is deeply rooted in the memoir and shares his take on Laura’s journey to redemption in the Epilogue of the book.

      This compelling story is well written and relatable on many levels. I ended up not being able to listen to the last few chapters as I was beginning to feel lectured by a pro life religious couple rather than listening to their life story. I understand their regret and heartache, but I do not believe theirs is the only, or best point of view. I'm not going to debate this, or any topic in a book review. I did want to let others know what to expect and think there should be a "trigger warning" in the beginning of the book.

      Uggh. They might have well promoted this as a story of religion and against abortion. I didn't read the book for lectures about God and reproduction. The narration is not the best, either.
