{"product_id":"sacred-choices-karen-hulene-bartell-9781940222318","title":"Sacred Choices","description":"\u003cb\u003eAn inspirational love story centered on self-growth, Sacred Choices weaves together the lives of three resilient women.\u003c\/b\u003eCeren is a newly-married and pregnant professor who learns her husband is a bigamist who urges abortion. Judith, Ceren's colleague - an older, more worldly professor and pro-choice advocate - provides counsel based on her experiences. Judith's sister Pastora, a nun, provides the voice of reason. Sacred Choices is Ceren's journey - from her positive pregnancy test, through her decision whether or not to have an abortion - to an uncanny conclusion.Sacred Choices has an offbeat charm steeped in the supernatural. The protagonists' search for the answer to whether it is the Aztec goddess Tonantzin or Our Lady of Guadalupe who has been revered for the past 500 years is interrupted by a giggling, young girl, who appears only to Judith. Is she a figment of Judith's imagination, a vision - or could she be an angel, as Pastora believes? Set near Mexico City and incorporating present-day Hispanic and ancient Aztec beliefs, culture, and cuisine, Sacred Choices deeply celebrates the triumph of the spirit.Read reviews at \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMaureen's Books\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e (http: \/\/maureensbooks.blogspot.nl\/2014\/04\/review-sacred-choices-by-karen-hulene.html) and \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eReading Shy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e (http: \/\/readingshy.blogspot.com\/2014\/04\/sacred-choices-by-karen-hulene-bartell.html?m=\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karen Hulene Bartell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1940222311\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781940222318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pen-L Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/26\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Karen Hulene Bartell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445922017535,"sku":"9781940222318","price":16.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_25137973-48a5-49c0-aca4-fecd14fc0919.jpg?v=1777221519","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sacred-choices-karen-hulene-bartell-9781940222318","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
