Bobby's carefree teenage life changes forever when he becomes a father and must care for his adored baby daughter. He is a single father after the death of his girlfriend.

I read this book lots of years ago, and I remembered so little that I decided to re-read it. This Angela Johnson lady is some kind of writer. What an amazing book. The characters are real - there are not cliches here. And the story is like a sucker punch in slow motion - the impact is so slow at first you don't even know you got hit, but you feel stunned when it's over. Everyone should read this, as well as the companion novels, Heaven and Sweet, Hereafter. ( )
