~*~ by Amy Lichtenhan Contemporary Fiction Elizabeth and Christian are college sweethearts. Their love is going strong until an unexpected life sends them into a tailspin that threatens to blow them both off course. Elizabeth announces she is pregnant, expecting Christian to accept the surprise thrown their way, but he doesn’t want the baby. Christian rashly declares they should have it ‘taken care of’ to avoid rearranging their life, school and career plans.
