Dynah Carey knew where her life was headed. Engaged to a wonderful man, the daughter of doting parents, a faithful child of God, she has it all. Then the unthinkable happens: Dynah’s perfect life is irrevocably changed by a rape that results in an unwanted pregnancy. Her family is torn apart and her seemingly rock-solid faith is pushed to the limits as she faces the most momentous choice of her life: to embrace or to end the life within her. This is ultimately a tale of three women, as Dynah’s plight forces both her mother and her grandmother to face the choices they made. Written with balance and compassion, “The Atonement Child” brings a new perspective to the most controversial topic of our times.

Summary
Overall This was the very fist book by Francine Rivers I read. It is very moving and very inspirational. The main theme along this book is abortion and all the ramifications. It really brings abortion into a new perspective and makes you think and ponder. I really loved this book and I would specially recommend it to teenage girls.
Violence There are some violence scenes in the first chapters when the main character, Dynah, is raped.
Language none that I recall
Sexual The sexual content is related to the rape scene only. There are not very descriptive as a sexual act but more as a violent act.
Drug & Alcohol none that I can recall
