Make Life Matter Angela Donadio

At the age of thirteen, Serena Dyksen was raped, pregnant, and taken to an abortion clinic that would later make national news because the abortionist hoarded 2411 babies in this clinic. Abortion was supposed to be the answer after Serena’s trauma, but instead, it tore her family apart and nearly destroyed her life. At the lowest point with drugs and alcohol, Serena had an encounter that changed everything. She Found His Grace is a story of healing for anyone who has experienced abortion. It is also a call to action for the church. There is hope, love, and forgiveness after abortion. April is abortion recovery awareness month.
