Description from Amazon: “When Susan Tate’s seventeen-year-old daughter, Lily, announces she is pregnant, Susan is stunned. A single mother, she has struggled to do everything right. She sees the pregnancy as an inconceivable tragedy both for Lily and herself. Then comes word of two more pregnancies among other high school juniors who happen to be Lily’s best friends. The town turns to talk of a pact. As fingers start pointing, the emotional ties between mothers and daughters are stretched to breaking in an emotionally wrenching story of love and forgiveness.”
My thoughts: As a mother with a daughter, this is one of my “worst-case scenarios.” This is told from the mother of a pregnant teenager’s point of view. Overall, I found this book to be well written and emotional. If you aren’t a mother with a daughter, you may not find it compelling.
