If you’re new around here, you may not know that the president of Secular Pro-Life, Kelsey Hazzard, has written a book! It’s called Cultivating Weeds, and it’s a short fictional piece with pro-life themes. We’re selling copies as a fundraiser. So far, it’s gotten great reviews:

Stand for Life: This is not your typical “defending the pro-life position” book but
delves into both the abortion and pro-life world. The in-depth
personalities of the characters, along with the fascinating theme, draw
you in, and before you know it you’ve read the book in one sitting.

Live Action News: Cultivating Weeds is a story of redemption and hope. It’s an inspiring picture of what can happen when a person grabs hold of life-changing truths… [A] quick read with a powerful message… Cultivating Weeds‘ unique plot left me wishing this fictional tale could become a reality. Take the time and read it for yourself!

Jewels: Her rich characters are fully developed and change and grow in unexpected ways.
Readers will be intrigued by this unique story and will leave asking themselves,
“What if?…”

Melanie Z.: The story has a very unique idea, and the author is very good at drawing the
reader in and making her care about the characters. One thing I really liked
about the story is that, even though it was written by a committed pro-lifer, it
does not demonize abortion providers. rather, it characterizes them as decent
human beings who mean well and may be misguided rather than evil. There is no
attitude of “all pro-choicers are evil baby killers” to be found
here. The book is great for pro-life readers, but I also think that open
minded pro-choice readers would also enjoy it, because it is a good and
captivating story.

Josh Brahm (Life Report): Cultivating Weeds is gripping. It handles ethically complex
issues without being preachy. Its deeply human characters are a
refreshing change from the caricatures that so often plague the abortion
debate. This book has the potential to start a new, productive
conversation on one of the most emotionally charged issues of our
generation.

Abby Johnson: Hazzard has successfully captured the unique psychology of abortion
work. As a former abortion clinic worker myself, I couldn’t help but be
moved by this beautiful story about new beginnings and the true meaning
of heroism. I wholeheartedly endorse Cultivating Weeds.
