Choices (Burchett)
Katrina L. Burchett
Five teenage girls make decisions about boyfriends and premarital sex: Shauntice lives in a world of domestic abuse. Her dad beats her mother, so this Christian teen is not sure she wants a boyfriend. Angel has a mother who is never around, she doesn't know who her earthly father is and she doesn't care about the heavenly Father. She became promiscuous to fill a void. LaKeeta is a Christian, but instead of doing it God's way and waiting for marriage, she has sex out of wedlock. She is seventeen and pregnant. Bridgette feels strongly about abstaining from sex and she will not compromise her beliefs. But this young Christian still has her flaws. Hope is so shy that she's barely heard when she speaks. She lives a sheltered life because of her mother's strict rules, and the word 'sex' isn't in her vocabulary... until she suffers a loss. CHOICES is young adult fiction for mature readers.

In Katrina L. Burchett's Choices, a group of African American high school students from York, PA face questions about relationships, peer pressure, and religion. The main friendship group includes La Keeta, pregnant out of wedlock with no contact with the baby's father, Angel whose workaholic mother ignores her, Shauntice whose father abuses her mother, and Hope and Bridgette, Christian girls hoping to influence their friends. High school boys circle around these girls as relationships emerge and dissolve with painful consequences.

Choices by Katrina L. Burchett is a story that deals with matters of the heart, different facts of life and the hard things to discuss. This book of realistic fiction follows the paths of five different girls throughout their latter teenage years. Shauntice, Angel, LaKeeta, Bridgett and Hope all wish that at least one thing in their life was different. In the course of a few weeks, all of these girls grow and change to be more responsible and aware.
