About This Book
Come together
LaVaughn needs a part-time job. Something she could do after school to help earn money for college. Jolly needs a babysitter. Someone she could trust with two kids while she works the evening shift.
It doesn't matter that LaVaughn is fourteen years old—only three years younger than Jolly. What matters is that LaVaughn gives Jolly and her two babies more love and understanding than anyone else will. Life is a struggle for all of them. But together they might make it through.
