About
The Book
Born in an environment of drugs, sex,
broken relationships, and parental neglect, 18-year-old Myckelle Williams
eventually faced a major crossroads in her own life, and the prospect of
becoming a statistic, as a desperate teenager unexpectedly pregnant with her
second unplanned child. Like so many
young women across America, she found herself literally at a ‘fork in the road’
while travelling life’s path. Myckelle
soon discovers that each choice in life come with a heavy price to pay, and is
forced to decide whether or not to end her unplanned pregnancy. You will be
amazed as Myckelle tells how one uncommon act of unselfish love by total
strangers helped her to discover forgiveness, break generations of dysfunction,
and walk away from destructive cycles that enabled her to change her life, and
family, from the inside out.
Join Myckelle on a journey of hope,
healing, and finding love in unexpected places, that include powerful life
lessons for the reader with each new chapter.
By pulling from Robert Frost’s poem, ‘The
Road Not Taken’, you will be led on a journey of self- discovery, forgiveness,
and the impact of everyday choices. Her
story of faith, courage, and victory over circumstance, contains powerful
illustrations for women of all ages, races, and backgrounds, which provide
guidance in creating new traditions and generational patterns in your own
family, as well as breaking old strongholds and family patterns that threaten
to keep you and your children from the Purpose that God intended. As she
struggles with often agonizing acceptance of the consequences of her own
choices, you too will be inspired to reflect on your own past decisions, and
through her heartache learn about the miracle of life’s true purpose...and
discover the unconditional reality of God’s unfailing love.

Excerpt
PROLOGUE
Before I formed you in the womb, I knew
you. Before you were born, I set you apart for my holy purpose...I appointed
you to be a prophet to the nations.
~Jeremiah 1:5
“I’d like to make an appointment...for an
abortion.”
Desperation and shame filled my voice, and
I hoped the lady on the other end didn’t know me or my parents.
“How many weeks are you? When was your last
period?” The lady on the other end asks, seemingly not surprised, sounding more
annoyed than anything else.
I gave her the dates she requested, asking
“How much will that cost?”
Annoyed sigh. “You are fourteen-and-a-half
weeks. Well, the process will be much longer because you are further along, but
it will be $375 total.”
“Do you take Medicaid?”
“Yes.”
“When can I come in?
“Tuesday at 8 a.m.
“Do I need to bring anything?”
“Just your money, or Medicaid card, proof
of pregnancy. And a ride home.”
I hung up and looked at my boyfriend. How
were we going to afford that? We could barely afford to take care of our eleven
month old son, the child I had had less than a year ago at age seventeen. “It’s
cool.” He told me. “My sister has Medicaid. We can use her card. You just use
her name and info.”
