On her Virtual Book Tour, Myckelle Williams has stopped by to give you a preview of her book: Choosing the Road Less Traveled: Finding Grace on the Path to Purpose.
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
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.
Book
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.”About The Author
