Today, I’m pleased to welcome a fellow Rave Reviews Book Club author, Gwen Plano. Gwen is on tour with her fabulous novel, The Choice. All week we’ve been getting to know Gwen’s characters and their motivations. Join us today as Gwen Plano explores another of life’s truths.
The Choice: Blog Tour
Neurologist/psychiatrist Viktor Frankl experienced the worst of life when he was a victim of the Holocaust. Through that devasting experience, he emerged claiming that “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
In THE CHOICE, we travel with characters as they choose their way. Some are heroic, others not so. The challenges may be unique to the characters, but the situations they face are familiar to all of us. They must choose whether to be generous or self-centered, loving or hateful, courageous or cowardly.
In the scene below, a student asks the character, Julie, “Why are you risking your life to meet with us?”
Julie wipes a tear from her eyes and glances at the admiral. “Some things are worth more than a life. Brad and Sarah proved this to me. Their love continues, powerfully. It brought all of us together, didn’t it? Two people who loved and chose truth can change how we see. Their message reverberates across the globe. When I read the evidence, I couldn’t remain silent, because the whole world needs to know. We don’t move forward by ignoring a dangerous cabal. We move forward by facing the truth courageously.”

I did question the title of CHOICE in my review, Gwen. I didn’t see CHOICE as the motivating drive of the characters, but I could be wrong. Thank you, Linda, for hosting.
