The Atonement Child

An unexpected pregnancy forces three generations of women to confront the choices that shaped their lives.

College student Dynah Carey knew where her life was headed. Engaged to a wonderful man, the daughter of doting parents, and 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 generations of women, as Dynah’s plight forces both her mother and her grandmother to confront the choices they made. Written with balance and compassion, this family drama explores sensitive questions through themes of wrestling with God, forgiveness, and redemption.
