The National Book Awardďż˝"winning author of Brown Girl Dreaming presents a heart-wrenching story about the stigma behind teen pregnancy and the transformative power of understanding.
“A strong, original, and life-affirming book.” -- Kirkus Reviews
“A sterling, well-crafted narrative that considers the gamut of emotions and opportunities that teen pregnancy presents.” -- KLIATT
Feni is furious when she learns that her mother has agreed to take a fifteen-year-old pregnant girl into their home, and all kinds of thoughts run through her head. How could her mother agree to this? What kind of girl would let herself get into such a situation? And how's it going to feel to share a room with a stranger? Her worst fears are confirmed when bossy Rebecca arrives, so Feni decides she'll have nothing to do with her. But it's hard not to be curious about a girl who's so different, and like it or not, Feni knows she needs to figure out a way for them to both live under the same roof . . .
