"Are you lost?" Shelby asked. "No," the boy answered with a slight shrug of his shoulders. Shelby was now completely at a loss. "No?" she questioned with her eyebrows raised and a hint of exasperation. "No. I'm not lost," said the boy matter-of-factly. Having no idea where to go with this situation, Shelby asked the next logical question that came to her mind, "What's your name?" "You can call me Matthew," the boy replied. "That's what God said you would've named me if you'd chosen for me to be born." The Visits is a fictional story about a young woman named Shelby who struggles with her decision to have an abortion and her relationship with God once she is exposed to a factual biblical presentation on abortion from God's perspective. When she experiences a miracle, will she continue to reject God or accept grace and find the peace she is seeking?
