The first situation that shifted Rachel's perspective involved her own brother.

"My brother got a girl pregnant when he was 19. We all wanted her to abort, please!" Bock wrote. "This was clearly horrible. She didn't. My niece, now 17, is a shining light in this world. Her smile & presence lights up everyone around her. It's amazing. The hindsight on this is palpable."
