I read it in 3 hours and could not put it down. A good friend of mine Linda Cochrane told me I needed to read it. Linda and I are co-laborers in the cpc world. I work as an Executive Director for a Care Net Pregnancy Center here in Conn. After I finished the book I gave it to one of the pastors in my church. You are so right, their are walking wounded in the churches and no body cares. If they do, they are not sure how to handle it and or talk about it. I am post abortive myself. God showed me his heart when I lived in Chicago and that's when I entered the world of the crisis pregnancy center. At first I went kicking and screaming, telling God(can you believe the nerve of me!) are you sure you have the right one here? So with months of prayer and a deep breath, I left the cosmetics industry to talk with pregnant women. Okay, it was a lot of prayer, come on who am I kidding, I was going to leave a job where I played with make-up all day and got $1000.00 a year in free cosmetics,what women wouldn't like that job, was I nuts or what. To make matters worse I left the Dept Store 2 weeks before Christmas, thee biggest time of commission and sales! People thought I lost my mine. Interesting thing happen, I told 4 of the ladies at the Estee Lauder counter I was working at(which by the way I knew them for 3 years), why I was leaving(not sure I was trying to convince myself or them), but I told them I was going to work at a crisis pregnancy center and I told each of them I believe the reason God was calling me there was to tell other women of my past abortions, now mine you, this is thee very first time I said anything to anybody about my 3 abortions. My husband and I were the only ones who knew of the 3 abortions, it was a secret for almost 30 years. Okay, back to the Lauder counter---1 lady just hugged me when I told her about my 3 abortions, 1 lady told me I was a baby killer, 1 lady just said, "it nothing anyway" and the other just rolled her eyes. Wow!! This was the start of healing for me and I did not even know it yet!! Anyway,while I worked in Chicago, I sat down for 2 years and wrote my life story down,(did not want to do that either), of the drugs, alcohol, suicidal thoughts, the hard core biker life style, the music industry world and now the crisis pregnancy center world. Wrote it as a movie, but wondering now about a book. We shall see what God does. Okay, not really sure why I went into some details, but oh well, I was always a chatter box even in kindergarten, so I guess nothing as changed. \Mary, God Bless you for this book, you have blessed my heart with your words and I hope I will be able to meet with you one day. HIS servant for Life, Pati Adams Hi Mary,
I just finished your book Secret Sin. I read it in 3 hours and could not put it down. A good friend of mine Linda Cochrane told me I needed to read it. Linda and I are co-laborers in the cpc world.

I am post abortive myself. God showed me his heart when I lived in Chicago and that’s when I entered the world of the crisis pregnancy center. At first I went kicking and screaming, telling God(can you believe the nerve of me!) are you sure you have the right one here? So with months of prayer and a deep breath, I left the cosmetics industry to talk with pregnant women.
