Teens and Parents Author’s Book Timely Release in Wake of Jamie Lynn Spears Pregnancy News

Book Aimed at Fostering Parent Child Discussions on Teen Choices

Charlotte, NC —Today’s news is filled with stories of concern for teens and parents as a teen celebrity announces her pregnancy at age 16 and how schools and other organizations are supporting overly permissive behavior by teens. The media is pushing the wrong message just use birth control. That is not the answer or the right choice for teens. Parents impact your teen’s choices while you can. Thomas Wade Bounds’ Choices, My Secrets ($9.99, paperback, 978-1-60477-369-9) is an interactive way to help parents and teens come together and discuss openly the consequences some choices made without consideration can have on a teen and their family’s life.

The book tells the compelling story of Rachel, a teenager faced with unexpected choices after a summer romance leaves her pregnant. Searching for hope, she finds things spinning out of control for her as she makes her way to the abortion clinic. Does a chance encounter help her think clearly? Learn whether or not she plows ahead or finds her true self and gains the faith, hope, and courage to consider the best choices to guide her through her incredible journey.

Says Bounds, “This story, when read by teens and parents together, may be utilized to stimulate discussion, bringing out issues and pressures teenagers face today. [It is] a tool to help set a better understanding of their choices, relationship expectations and positive, godly goals toward their family values which may help prevent similar choices.
