Description

What happens when an abortion survivor finds her birth mother, who never knew her daughter was alive?

You Carried Me is a gripping memoir by Melissa Ohden, winner of the 2018 Christianity Today Book Award in the CT Women category and Silver Medal Winner in the 2018 Illumination Book Awards for Biography & Memoir.

Melissa Ohden was fourteen when she learned she was the survivor of a botched abortion. In this intimate memoir, she details for the first time her search for her biological parents and her journey from anger and shame to faith and empowerment.

After a decade-long search, Melissa finally locates her birth father and writes to extend forgiveness, only to discover that he has died without answering her burning questions. Melissa becomes a mother herself in the very hospital where she was aborted. This experience transforms her attitude toward women who have had abortions, as does the miscarriage of her only son and the birth of a second daughter with complex health issues.

But could anything prepare her for the day she finally meets her birth mother and hears her side of their story? This intensely personal story of love and redemption illuminates the powerful bond between mother and child that can overcome all odds.
