The Choice

By: Robert Whitlow

Narrated by: Heath McClure

One young woman. Two very different roads. The choice will change everything.

Even as a pregnant, unwed teen in 1974, Sandy Lincoln wanted to do the right thing. But when an ageless woman approached her in a convenience store with a mysterious prophecy and a warning, doing the right thing became even more unclear. She made the best choice she could . . . and has lived with the consequences.

More than thirty years later, a pregnant teen has come into her life, and Sandy’s long-ago decision has come back to haunt her. The stakes rise quickly, leaving Sandy with split seconds to choose once more. But will her choice decision bring life . . . or death?

"The Choice shows the struggles of unplanned pregnancy and the courageous act of adoption in a way that I haven't read before . . ." —Abby Brannam-Johnson, former Planned Parenthood Director and author of Unplanned

"Whitlow captures the struggle of many women trapped in the battle over abortion in a truly sympathetic and affecting way." —Booklist

Story good but narration awful

Would you listen to The Choice again? Why?

No, the narration was the worst I have ever heard. It sounded like the narrator was reading to a 3 year old. There was no affectation and he read in a sing song rhythm.

Unintended Consequences

Horrible Narrator!

Robert Whitlow is a great author - his stories always are filled with great story components. However, Heath McClure is one of the WORST narrators that I've ever heard.

Because I like Whitlow stories, I'll probably listen to the rest of his books - but I'm afraid I'll have to suffer through Heath McClure's reading.

McClure's narrating has almost no infection, no character variation, and hardly no feeling. I cannot understand why Whitlow chose this narrator for so many of his books.

Robert, if you want your books to be recommended, trash these audio versions and have them re-read by a REALLY GOOD narrator.
