This is an excellent resource for young women who have discovered
that they are accidentally pregnant. Dorrie Williams-Wheeler
writes easily and simply about what sometimes can be, very highly
charged and emotional subjects. Recommended.

The Unplanned Pregnancy Book For Teens & College Students
by Dorrie Wheeler-Williams is a must read. Any heterosexual
couple engaging in a physical relationship should pick up a copy
of this book.
The novel is very informative, educational, and
compact. It covers the three choices women face upon learning
they are pregnant: raising the child, abortion, or adoption.
For the inexperienced mothers to be, there is
a list of must haves in preparing for baby. Those choosing the
route of abortion, it explains the different procedures and
gives an estimated cost. It also gives you information on the
different types of adoption.
The novel should definitely be required reading
for High Schools and Colleges.
Ms. Wheeler-Williams put a lot of hard work and
research into the novel. She took the guesswork out of choices.
The Unplanned Pregnancy Book For Teens & College Students
shows the reader things are not always as bad as they may seem.
There are alternatives and options in every situation. The choice
is up to the reader which path they choose follow.

Author of "I Wish I Had Waited"
The Unplanned Pregnancy Book for Teens and College
Students is an excellent resource for young parents-to-be. Williams-Wheeler
has compiled a step-by-step guide so an individual can formulate
a course of action and gain insight into their purpose in life.
The chapters are detailed and offer a non-judgmental description
of all the options available. Particular attention is given
to determining if you are actually pregnant, how to have conversations
with parents and boyfriend/child's father, what to expect during
the pregnancy, parental assistance programs, what will the baby
need, the 411 on abortion, adoption, future contraception, and
an extensive resource section with addresses, telephone numbers
and internet addresses.
Williams-Wheeler has taken the time to develop a resource that
will enlighten lives and encourage young people. It is written
in easy to read language and organized to answer the questions
young parents may have. She offers first-hand stories and testimonies
from teens and young adults who found themselves in similar
situations. There is also a section with questions to stimulate
conversation and activities to be used in conjunction with the
reading. This is a superb resource for every high school counselor,
youth group advisor, or organization that works with teens.
