A pregnant teen finds a new job and a new home in a strange town. (The plot is totally unrealistic but still a good story.) (

A pleasure.

added by octopedingenue | editKirkus Reviews

The style is simple and direct...and the hopeful messages are appealing—one mistake need not mean the end of happiness, and you can make a family anywhere with those you love.

What begins as a standard prom-night-mistake story shifts into a refreshing read...Recommended.
