A brave girl did a brave thing...
Young, single, and pregnant...
Chantal has to make a choice...
Does she keep the baby or abort it...
Thirteen years later he son asks her "Did you ever consider aborting me?"
Excerpt
"The truth was, I had thought about getting an abortion the instant I found out that I was pregnant with him because I was only eighteen years old at the time, still in high school, and had been accepted into the university program I wanted.
My handsome blond haired son stared at me with his brown eyes, patiently waiting for an answer. I didn’t want to lie to him, but didn’t know how to tell him that his father and I had not planned to have him and that abortion had been my first thought when I looked at my positive pregnancy test back in June of 2000. How could I look at my loving son in the eyes and tell him that I didn’t originally jump for joy and then happily announce the news to the whole world?
Obviously, I ended up changing my mind about getting an abortion and have absolutely no regrets about my decision."
This is Chantal's beautifully told, true story, of having her son and all the experiences of raising him.

About the Author
I am a multi-genre author who always loved to write but never thought about publishing anything until a friend of mine told me I should.Before that, I was more interested in acting. I performed in a couple of amateur stage showed and joined a Youth run Theatre Company. I was also an extra in a few commercials, TV shows and movies.
My love for acting soon got replaced with the love for my son. I made him my number one priority. I found it easier to write on my spare time than to work around other people's schedules to act. I found that I had to use some of my acting training to write since I had to put myself in the shoes of the characters I created.
I currently have 8 books available to purchase and write short stories for The Suburban's Online Magazine.
Some of my work was also featured in Aspiring to Inspire Anthology as well ad Words of Fire and Ice.
My memoir of motherhood was included in the compilation book They Call me Mamma Bear, put together by author Amber Royce.
While I continue to come up with stories, I encourage my son to so some writing of his own since he is full of good ideas and has a big imagination. He reminds me of myself as a child.
I am a single mom and feel very lucky to have Aidan in my life.
