A Crisis Pregnancy. A breaking Point. A Story That Cannot Be Kept Silent.
At twenty-one years old, Faith-Ann Dalton walked into a pregnancy resource center looking for the only way out: an abortion. Between her collapsing relationship with her fiancé, turbulence with her dysfunctional family, and the pressure of her mounting debt, motherhood looked more like a sentence than a gift. But in the quiet spaces of an unexpected maternity home, the shackles of her old life began to crack open. The moment she thought would erase her future forever instead poured the foundation for a new one.
In This House We Lived is a raw, redemptive memoir of trauma, crisis, faith, and the slow, intentional construction of healthy habits. With unflinching honesty and hard-won clarity, Dalton traces her story of becoming a mother before she was ready, learning to choose herself without abandoning her soul, and discovering that healing doesn’t always mean getting it right—it’s about refusing to give up.
