THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY

My husband and I have both been involved in pregnancy center ministry on and off since we got married. At one point, I volunteered to answer a hotline phone like the one Kennedy takes in the first chapter of Unplanned. I still remember the very first phone call I received. My husband and I were in the middle of dinner when I picked it up. The girl was very young and told me she was pregnant.

As we started to talk a little more, it came out that she didn’t know who the father was since both her biological dad and her stepdad were simultaneously abusing her. I shaking by then, and my poor husband could only help by rubbing my back while I tried to help. The girl hung up abruptly before I could get a phone number, a last name, or any other way to identify her.

After talking to the director of the pregnancy center, I placed a call to 911 and was told there was nothing the police could do. They didn't have any evidence that what the girl was saying was true. I held onto the phone for the rest of the weekend, hoping to hear form her again. She did call a few days later to tell me that her dad had overheard our conversation and was taking her to abortion clinic. I urged her to tell a teacher or school counselor, but she was homeschooled and said her parents never let her leave the house unsupervised.

I don’t know what happened to her, but I doubt I'll ever forget that call, which is similar to the one Kennedy receives in Unplanned. I’d like to think that in some way my newest novel might help someone who ends up in a similar situation one day.
