Synopsis

Is there sin that love can’t cover? Lydia Brown has taken just about every wrong turn she could find. When an abortion leaves her overwhelmed by guilt, she turns to drugs to escape her pain. After a single car accident lands her in the hospital facing DUI charges, Lydia is forced to reevaluate her choices. Kevin McGregor has been biding his time since high school when he heard God tell him that Lydia Brown was the woman he would marry. In the aftermath of Lydia’s accident, Kevin must come to grips with the truth about her secret life. While Kevin works to convince himself and God that loving Lydia is a mistake, Lydia struggles to accept the feelings she has for Kevin, though she fears her sin may be too much for anyone to forgive.

Lydia's life soon tumbles from the perfect life she had and travels a path she never thought she d journey on. Elizabeth Maddrey writes with real emotions, showing you that God has a plan for our lives and that we need to be discerning of those foxholes we encounter. --Rachel Fischer, Librarian

Post-abortion grief can strike anywhere, even close to home, when we least expect it. Wisdom to Know offers a compelling example of how the fear of losing the love and respect of others following an abortion can often lead to self-imposed isolation, alienation, and self-destruction. Even more importantly, it is also a tale of why Christians must always be ready to offer understanding and compassion to everyone who lives under the shadow of post-abortion grief and guilt . . . especially those victims who are closest to our hearts. --David C. Reardon, Ph.D., author of The Jericho Plan: Breaking Down the Walls Which Prevent Post-Abortion Healing
