I can never allow that to happen ever again. It is not even a choice. I will not allow this condition to rule my life It will destroy me if I do.
“The Choice” by Jessica Y. Sarabia drops you right into the life of Eva, known to everyone as E, a young woman battling a rare degenerative health condition that never lets her live like everyone else. Proudly published by Citi of Books, this is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major retail platforms.
Jessica Y. Sarabia has lived in New Mexico her entire life. Born and raised in Las Cruces until the age of twelve, she later moved to Rio Rancho, where she currently resides. She is a student at the University of New Mexico, pursuing a degree in biological anthropology and following a pre-med track as she prepares for a future in medicine.
Eva, known simply as E to her friends, has spent much of her life battling a condition that promises she will never live a “normal” life. Despite her limitations, she pursues her dream of becoming a doctor — inspired by her mentor, Dr. Steinberg, who has been instrumental in keeping her alive.
If you like narratives that combine heart, tension, and philosophical depth, this book offers a powerful and memorable reading experience.
Everything changes when Dr. Steinberg introduces Dr. Reinhardt, a specialist who sees something extraordinary in E’s condition: her cells may hold the key to curing cancer and extending human life. Suddenly, E faces a decision she never wanted — whether to devote herself fully to research that could save millions, at the cost of her personal freedom and happiness. Her choice becomes one of the most haunting and profound parts of the narrative, as she must weigh her own desires against enormous scientific promise.
This book is compelling because it merges emotional narrative with moral complexity, creating a story that resonates on both a personal and philosophical level. Eva is not just a character defined by her illness — she’s a fully realized person with dreams, relationships, humor, and heart. Her journey exposes readers to the tension between self-fulfillment and greater good, a classic dilemma that takes on urgent meaning when the stakes involve life, death, and scientific progress.
The plot is anchored in Eva’s internal world, but the implications of her decision stretch far beyond her own life, touching on themes of legacy, sacrifice, and the value of human life. This duality helps the story stay rooted in emotional authenticity even as it explores high-impact fictional possibilities.
“The Choice” by Jessica Y. Sarabia is an engaging blend of character-driven fiction and thought-provoking thematic exploration. It appeals to fans of emotional dramas, ethical dilemmas, and literary fiction with a speculative edge — particularly those who enjoy stories that challenge assumptions about agency, purpose, and how far one is willing to go when faced with impossible choices.
