Reviewing ONE CALL AWAY

   ONE CALL AWAY by Brenda Warner, is a real eye-opener on her life struggles, compounded in part because of being in the media and public. No different from the rest of us as far as troubles go, BUT they are multiplied when viewed by millions because your husband is famous.
    I was fascinated by Brenda's life story. She starts the book from the very beginning with the struggles of being poor, and the things she needed to face at such an early age.  She frankly shares her mistakes, her reasoning's on why she does or doesn't do some things, and the subsequent consequences.
   The book has photographs from most stages of her life, and only touches a small amount on her famous husband, football QB, Kurt Warner.  She weaves in how her faith kept her strong in trials.  She tells how her husband's faith and unconditional love for her and her children helped her to grow, as they added to the family and faced new trials caused by relocations, increased income, publicity and health issues.
   Readers will be challenged with issues of pre-marital sex, child abuse, divorce, infidelity, poverty, wealth, choosing friends, religion vs faith, trust, forgiveness and the list goes on and on. In other words, this is a 'real' life story.
   My main hesitation with promoting this book is that it never suggests to the reader that pre-marital sex is wrong. If a questioning or rebellious teenager [or older] were to read it, they would think there is nothing wrong with pre-marital sex because "she" did it [actually planned to do it] and got away with it because she was on the pill. Which, I also questioned... why was she on the pill? If she believed it was wrong... my only thought was a fear of rape but that was only 'my' thought, it was not suggested in the book. In essence, her YOUNGER husband had more morals than she did.
