After falling in love with a wealthy young man, Shawna Watkins believes she has found what she's been searching for in life. A handsome fiance, a beautiful home, and a wonderful new life.

She takes it all in stride, unaware it also comes with his conniving mother, Katherine, and she will do anything in her power to rid Shawna from her son, Conrad's, life. Struggling to attain all of her dreams, she has no idea that her life will fall apart when hidden truths come to light.

Pregnancy and having your first child should be a beautiful moment in a woman's life, but that is one thing she will never experience. Alone and pregnant at seventeen, with no family or support, Shawna's life has been turned upside down.

She now has a big decision to make, for her and the well being of her unborn child. Will she make the right one?

5.0 out of 5 stars WHOA!!!, December 29, 2011 !!Caelyngirly12 has made a comment on Letting Go:This book was amazing and so inspiring. I am only 14, and this shows real reasons as to why not to become a teen mom. It also teaches you how to make difficult decisions in life, including on how to forgive yourself and chase after your dreams. It shows life is not always easy and to be thankful for what you have, even if the person you are with is not. The ending was amazing and brought tears of joy to my eyes. This book is one of my favorites, and wish it would become a movie. Thanks so much

Omg, where I do I began with this book?? I loved it sooooo much that I can't even think of what to say. It just goes to show how much ppl take for granted these days. Shawana has been through so much and even though I can't relate, I know most can relate to her situation. Reading this book just really made realize, that with an education u can go as far as u want and to always be open to love. I really loved the way it ended. Im a huge fan of happy endings and this book did not disappoint. I cried, I laughed, and I smiled. It was just THAT GOOD!! This book needs to be made into a movie one and be put on the lifetime network. She went through so much bad things in her life but gained so more good in the end. I LOVED IT!!!!! PLZ MAKE IT A MOVIE SOMEDAY!!

If I could I would give you more stars, what a strong character for a sixteen year old girl. All she when through a never give up until she was down as deep as she could get. Shawnee always had love for other people, especially mis Marley and mis Jane, what a line, live with no
Regrets and chase butterflies. A great love line to live by. Then trust in God s strength to help you find your way to happiness.

Great book, minimal complaints

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2011

DOMINO did a fantastic job in creating a novel that manages to touch hearts.
Breif summary:
The novel starts off in the middle really, where Conrad and Shawna have had their main problems and things were looking more bleak then ever. Shawna goes over everything that led her to the place where she was at, including leaving the man she had fallen in love with - who accepted her and the baby - to go back to Conrad so he could have both his biological parents. After making a heart wrenching decision, things start to come together. The novel ends rather happily, despite it's overly depressing beginning.

I cried many times during this novel, I don't think I've had a book touch my heart quite as much as this one. It was a one sitting read, and I'm normally not a fan of the pregnancy type novels.

It could have had less chapters, as in they could have been combined, thinking a book has 70 + chapters seems very excessive to me. Also, there were some very simple typos like ruff, tuff,thru, etc...

Other than those simple things, it was beautiful. Be prepared to run into many curse words though - so if you can't handle that I wouldn't suggest reading this. It was very true to how someones life could be and the situations they may run into as an unprepared teenage expecting mother.

*Really* good book, worth the money!

I had never heard of Domino or this book before but it came up as being recommended to me. The plot sounded interesting so I got it. I was really surprised. I had a hard time putting it down! It's a really, really long book, but it's no so long that it gets boring. The characters are all interesting and there's not a dull moment. There's a lot of plot twisting moments, so you never can really expect what would happen. There are some grammar and spelling mistakes but after the first few pages you won't notice them. I've read this book probably three times now and every time I pick up something new. It's an awesome book and I would definitely recommend it! Five stars!

This is one of my top ten fav books EVER! The twist and turns keep you intrigued and want more. I couldn't stop reading. When you read the book, it makes you think what would you do if you were in the main character's situation. It mae me think and thankful for my parents, having someone love me and many more. A girl that young shouldn't have to go through all that. READ THIS TOTALLY AWESOME BOOK AND UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN!! YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!

I enjoyed this book and its sequel for the story... BUT not...

Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2013

the lame ending where all these people with huge problems solve them all and live "happily ever after." And not just ordinary happy, but spectacular happy, perfect lives with never another problem! Also, the two heroes purposely destroy an old lady's life -- simply because they don't like her -- and they're still the heroes! How ludicrous is that?

But my big problem was the awful distortion of the English language and punctuation. I have read about 80 kindle free or less than $4 books, and although this was a problem in most, it was never bad enough for me to complain about, till now. It is that bad.

"He wrapped his kissed the side of her forehead." Yes, that was a sentence. What does that mean? There were words left out and words added where they shouldn't have been. English is obviously a second language for this author. This is fine if you have it proofread. One glaring weakness was the author doesn't know the difference between "that" and "who." This type of sentence occurred perhaps 50 times:

"I glanced at Amber that was still glaring at me."
"I glowered at Theresa that went scurrying behind her."
"I looked at Jenny that rolled her eyes."

"WHO," author! "WHO," not "THAT." Who refers to people; that refers to things!

So in a two-book series of about 1400 pages, irritation and frustration accompanied the experience of reading a good story. I would have read some more of this author's books if it were not for this major annoyance.

Really beautiful and inspiring

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2012

Verified Purchase

I loved the story. It took my breath away and felt good all over after reading it. There were many twists and turns which worried me a bit but also kept me reading more. I loaned it to my daughter to read because it was so inspiring and beautiful. There were grammatical errors which is why I didn't give it 5 stars. It should be 5 stars though. The cursing didn't bother me because it just shows where the character was at and honest about it. If we can all be honest for a second, we will admit we've said some really raunchy stuff in our heads every now and again. I personally don't use cuss words but I know I say them in my head! It's just a beautiful story of how one woman was strong and held on to her hopes and dreams despite what life threw at her. The story has a powerful and uplifting message to live life to the fullest and with no regrets!

I thought this book was amazing ! It was very emotional; I laughed, I cried, I shouted at it !? But it was all worth it to finally reach the happy ending. I can honestly say that this book is one of the best books that I have ever read.
I think this book is appropriate for teenagers and adults as there was quite a lot of swearing but was a very enjoyable read as I'm sure most people in in this age category would agree.

Dieses Buch konnte mich nicht wirklich überzeugen

Reviewed in Germany on May 17, 2012

Verified Purchase

Nachdem ich das andere Buch der Autorin 99 to nowhere gelesen hatte, freute ich mich sehr auf dieses Buch. Es war eine herbe Enttäuschung.

Der Anfang hatte mir sehr gut gefallen und auch die Hauptprotagonistin fand ich sehr gut, jedoch hat sie mich ab der Mitte des Buches ziemlich genervt. Ich konnte einige ihrer Entscheidungen nicht nachvollziehen und hätte sie am liebsten angeschrien, dass sie das absolut Falsche tat.

Die Story an sich war eigentlich ganz gut, jedoch hat die Protagonisten sie für mich einfach etwas zerstört, da sie so nervig war.

Ich kann das Buch nicht wirklich weiterempfehlen.

I could put the book down and read it every chance I got. I loved it when shawna got out from under the control of Conrad and his spiteful mother and found her soul mate and got all the happiness she deserved and followed her dreams. Then she got reunited with her son she gave away year ago. I just loved following her story!
