Choices in Life Karen Jamison

Everyday in life people make choices. Some choices are good and some are bad. Some choices are easy to live with and some are hard to live with. And some of those choices can have life-altering consequences. The book Choices in Life is about how a woman has to live with the choices she makes. The main character in this  book is a college graduate and she has her whole life ahead of her. A drug dealer sweeps her off her feet. She willingly marries him because she doesn't want to live with her aunt and cousins in the low-income, drug infested neighborhood they live in. She doesn't like the drug dealing he does and tries to over look it until he stops dealing drugs. But as time goes by, nothing changes. She realizes that the money and cars and expensive gifts don't make the drug dealing acceptable. During their marriage she puts up with his jealous behavior, his accusations, and she has been his automaticalibi. But when her husband betrays her, she wants out of the marriage. He is obsessed with her and threatens the live of someone she loves if she leaves him.
