Publisher's Description
I Had A Secret for Seventeen Years is the redemptive life story of Tori Shaw, centered around her abortion as a teenager. She spent years covered by guilt and shame while enduring continual abandonment and rejection. Childhood experiences taught her to hide hardship, so she silently dealt with depression, fear, anxiety, self-loathing, and addictions. After hiding her dark secret for seventeen years, Tori shares her story with the world. A woman who once walked in fear and self-doubt is now willing to go wherever God wants her to go. Through Tori's story, God builds a ministry that helps abortion-minded women choose life for their babies and shares God's forgiveness and love with post-abortive women. I Had a Secret for Seventeen Years enables the reader to see a post-abortive woman come full circle and embrace the world of possibilities God makes available to those who are willing.

Foreword
“Countless women in today’s world can relate to Tori’s secret, but many never find the courage to share it with others. They carry this burden and try to go on with life as normal. Tori’s book takes you on a journey of a desperate young girl who makes a decision in a moment of crisis, to a woman whose shared secret is now bringing hope and healing to other women in crisis.”
“As one who has experienced the devastating effects abortion has had in my own life, I’ve been gripped by Tori’s journey. It is nothing short of miraculous! Through this raw, unadulterated writing, you’ll find yourself cheering and weeping as she draws you into the highs of her happiest moments as well as the depths of her deepest pain. Tori uncovers the truth about abortion that many have turned a blind eye to—the post-abortive woman, the other victim. What was meant to destroy her has now become her platform, life out of death, as Not Forgotten Ministries was born.”
“As someone who was forced to have an abortion, I found myself relating so much with Tori’s heartache from her own abortion. Reading through these pages of her life has helped me with my own healing, as well. Once I began reading, I couldn’t put Tori’s book down.”
