Nameless No More
By Shadia Hrichi
Who would name their child “Nameless?” I
did. As a scared, pregnant 15-year old girl,
I believed the child living within me was
nothing but a lifeless mass. Twenty-five
years later, I came face-to-face with a scar
hidden so deep, it would take a miracle to
bring it to the surface . . . “Nameless No
More” is an extraordinary true story of
courage and hope, reminding us that our
journeys of healing just may lead us to a
place we never expected.

You're Not Alone: Healing Through
God's Grace After Abortion
This book is written by Silent No More
Awareness Campaign’s national spokesperson,

pain, as well as the stories of other women
and gives a great description of the
Campaign’s first national Gathering in

A Voice to the Inner Pain reveals
the experiences that often shape the
emotional needs that can ultimately lead to
abortion. Common threads exist for many
facing this choice: family dysfunction and
divorce, a desperate need for acceptance,
fear of abandonment, emptiness and
loneliness. A misconception exists that
abortion solves “the problem,” but in truth,
the procedure can begin an unexpected
lifetime of heartache. Jodi and Ron Miller
share their story of abortion and its pain.
Their hope is that readers suffering from
abortion’s emotional consequences will
experience a transformation through God’s
grace, just as they did. The couple went
from despair and blame to hope, forgiveness,
healing and peace. At the same time, they
hope those considering abortion will gain
enlightenment about the possible lifetime of
repercussions from this act.

When dark secrets from the past collide
with the present, Jake and Arin Welsh’s
lives are thrown into a tailspin. Suddenly,
their only son’s life hangs in the balance.
Will they reconcile their pasts in time to
save their family? Arin Welsh grew up
in the foster care system. She and her
husband Jake spent years entangled in a cult
before breaking free. When they decided to
start a family, they were thwarted by
infertility. Finally, Arin has found
stability. Through in vitro fertilization,
she gave birth to Troy. Her warm marriage,
professional fulfillment as a sign language
interpreter, and the affection and support
of an unlikely friend provide the backdrop
for a tranquil life.
Then one chilling day, four-year-old Troy is
maliciously altered by forces that Arin and
Jake are unable to comprehend. Can Arin
contend with the mayhem surrounding her? Or
will she dare to consider a source of
protection and redemption greater than
herself?
Note from Georgette: This book was hard to
put down – it is great story telling while
at the same time clearly educating the
reader about the real pain of abortion and
the love of God!

This book gives profound information about
abortion. I not only share my personal
testimony but I have included testimonies of
other women and their experience relating to
abortion. It provides a background of the
history of abortion, which has been going on
for centuries, so there is really nothing
new under the sun. It discusses the process
of elimination by giving detailed
information surrounding the types and
techniques used and how women can develop
PAS (Post Abortion Syndrome) after they’ve
experienced abortion and much, much more. At
some point this book may make you angry, cry
and even laugh. |

the most pain-inducing decision of her life,
the consequences she has had to deal with as
a result, and the conclusions she has come
to in the 32 years since this 20 minute
event occurred. It is an exploration of
personal responsibility and the grace that
enables us all to accept and pursue it, one
decision at a time. |
