About the Book White Stick

Book: White Stick

Author: Jacqueline Middler

Genre: Memoir

Release Date: May 13, 2020

When a positive pregnancy test upends her carefree coed life, Jacqueline Marie decides to end the life of her unborn child. That abortion and the one that followed not only destroyed two lives but also wrecked Jacqueline’s soul.

Unprepared for the emotional wounds abortion inflicts, Jacqueline turns to drugs and alcohol to mask her pain, but nothing she does assuages her deep-seated guilt. When staying with relatives in Florida—intended to give her a fresh start—she hears the gospel message, and while reading the creation story and promises of God, she encounters a God who loves her despite her choices.

As she experiences God’s grace and forgiveness, Jacqueline is able to finally forgive herself. Now a doula and a voice for the unborn, she shares her story to help other women who have had abortions know that healing and redemption are possible through Jesus.

My Thoughts on White Stick:

I have never had an abortion.  And I have never thought of having an abortion. So I cannot relate to the guilt that the author feels from this.  But I can read this book and commiserate with her in that it is a forever life-changing process.  

This would be an amazing book for someone you know in your life who has had an abortion or for someone thinking of having an abortion.  It’s very real and heartfelt letting you into the life of the author and what she experienced and how she found her saving grace in Christ.  

Some thoughts for you.  Have kleenex handy if you’re reading this book.  It’s going to pull on your heartstrings and make you cry.  No questions.  It will.  The author is super brave to share her story.  This had to have been very hard but I think a lot of people can be reached through her words. 

Share this book, please.  I think it would be amazing to get a copy of this book in every library, every church library, and every clinic who does abortions.  That way it just might end up in the hands of someone thinking about abortion.
