What Was Her Decision?

No one could know what they’d do in a situation like that, but Angie never even faltered. She chose to risk her own life for that of her unborn baby.

They tried to prepare themselves mentally for what was in store, but that was impossible because they’d never experienced it before.

That wasn’t the only problem to consider!
