This is a beautiful story about teenage pregnancy. Yeah, I said beautiful. Some might worry that by saying that I am promoting teen pregnancy, but it doesn alomst the exact opposite. Told from perspectives of "Then" and "Now"this novel portrays the difficulties of teen pregnancy, but it also portrays the joys of parenthood. Bobby is a sweet young man with a loving successful family and a bright future. He has a girlfriend, Nia, whom he loves deeply at only fifteen. On his sixteenth birthday his girlfriend tells him she is pregnant. Complications during their daughters birth result in Nia's death. Bobby is left to take care of her alone. The novel goes through the struggles he faces and all of the love he has for his daughter in a beautiful, almost poetic way. I would recommend this book to anyone, especially those young adults who are sexually active.
