About book October Baby (2012)

Was this a mistake or a miracle? God’s creation, a living, breathing October Baby. Starting out with a teenage girl visiting an abortion clinic. Not knowing what the right decision is. Stops and runs away in the middle of an abortion process. Nurse Rutledge was working a day before that incident and she found that same girl coming back again. In the middle of Owens clinic the girl collapsed upon the floor. In October of 1991 a nurse and an unwed teenage mother were being rushed toward Mobile General Hospital. That day wasn’t just every day that Nurse Rutledge, an employee at an abortion clinic, helped one of her patients deliver a baby. Years passed that little October baby grew up to be a beautiful young lady. With a passion of an actress. On the big day of her performance that she was so anxious to have the role of ‘‘Annabella.’’ She experiences increasing anxiety and a sudden collapse. As days past in the hospital Hannah finds out from her parents that she was adopted and is a survivor of a failed abortion attempt. Confusion and anger makes Hannah turn to her oldest friend, Jason, for support. His plans for an adventurous road trip, inspires Hannah to join and find her hidden past and hope for the unknown future. Along her journey she finds that life is beautiful, and that life itself can be so much more than what we might have planned. She finds Nurse Rutledge, which tells her about the past. Hannah finds out about not only her birth, but of her twin brother, whom she knew nothing about. The nurse gave her information about the name of her birth mother and where she works. When she finally meets her biological mother, she feels anger and hatred because of her mother’s rejection. That same time Hannah’s father found out she lied to him about being with others beside Jason, and he came to get her. At home Hannah’s adopted parents decide to tell Hannah the details of their choice to adopt both her and her brother, who died months later. Her mother relates to her that she had been pregnant with twins and lost them at 24 weeks. They’d then seen an adoption request for twins at pregnancy crisis center where she had volunteered. Afterwards Hannah visits a church and starts talking to a priest. He says to her: ‘‘because we have been forgiven by God, we should forgive each other.’’ Hannah gets the courage to come back and leave a note on her biological mother’s desk with her baby bracelet from the hospital and the note saying ‘‘I forgive you.’’ She returns home and hugs her parents and thanks them for wanting her when no one else did. This novel is written based on a true story. It’s a story about life and choices. Eric Wilson does a wonderful job in writing this novel, giving us a deeper understanding of Hannah’s struggle. It’s an easy, fun and emotional read. If you get a chance read this book, it’s worth your time. This book was absolutely perfect. The story, the message and the strength that this character got from The Lord was beautiful. This probably makes me a moron but I had no idea abortions could fail. See? I'm an idiot. It's just something that NEVER crossed my mind. For Hannah to go from being her own kind of normal as best she could with having messed up hips, tons of surgeries growing up, asthma and seizures to finding out that she was a survivor of a failed abortion, unwanted and then abandoned. My heart just broke for this character and I realize it's fiction but there are actual real life stories just like this one and it broke my heart to think of all of those people that are REALLY going through these struggles.
