Matt had loved Emmy but she hadn't given a damn for anything. He remembered how they had believed that loving baby Mahalia would be enough. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0440237890, Mass Market Paperback)

MATT LOVED EVERYTHING about Emmy. He loved her freckled, luminous, magical body. He loved her free spirit. He loved the future he saw when he found out Emmy was pregnant. And he loved her answer when her parents protested their decision to keep the baby: “We’ll just love it, okay?”

Full of emotion and insight, Mahalia is the story of one teenage boy’s struggle to be a better father than he knows how.

“A poignant and memorable love story of a young father and his daughter.”—School Library Journal

“A starkly candid and sensitive portrait of teenage parenthood.”—The Horn Book Magazine
