Review of Then Comes The Flood

[Following is a volunteer review of "Then Comes The Flood" by John Payne.]
[𝘍𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘦𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘸 𝘰𝘧 "𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘥" 𝘣𝘺 𝘑𝘰𝘩𝘯 𝘗𝘢𝘺𝘯𝘦.]
A fatal car accident involving the death of Kayla Dean's infant son puts Megan Alladee on the stand as a key witness in the trial that follows and forges a strong spiritual bond between the two women. Throughout the nail-biting courtroom drama we follow the various characters as the truth behind their involvement changes and takes on a life of its own. In this intriguing and thought-provoking dialogue from John Payne, we discover that Megan, with the love and support of her family, forms an anti-abortion - movement after a decision to have an abortion leaves her bitterly regretting her actions.
In his book,𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘥, the author delivers a well-constructed storyline with a prominent religious theme, taking a moral stand against abortion while simultaneously ensuring the rights of women are heard loud and clear. It explains how empowering women by removing the socioeconomic pressures they encounter, provides them with the freedom to make the right decision for themselves. The book provides invaluable information for anyone considering setting up a similar movement to the one established by Megan and her Dad.
Arguments for and against abortion are explored by highlighting the different experiences of both Megan whose decision to terminate her pregnancy causes her ongoing anguish and her friend Cindy whose unplanned pregnancy forces her to question her beliefs. The dynamics of friendship between all of the women concerned feature prominently as well as the advantages of having a strong supportive family unit. Some of us believe that life begins at conception, therefore contraception could be considered an early-stage abortion. Adoption won't prevent or even diminish the rate of abortion and advocating for contraception won't either.
Overall, the book was well-edited and the solid plot kept me invested till the end. However, I found that at times the dialogue could be repetitive with unnecessary detail that detracted from my overall enjoyment. For this reason, I could not award a full star rating and therefore rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.
I would not recommend this book to those who are uncomfortable with the controversial subject of abortion as the conversations between the various characters are detailed and in-depth or to those with a fixed opinion on the subject.
