(2) YA Pregnant eighteen-year-old Mandy agrees to live in the home of the woman, Robin, who is adopting her baby. Robin's daughter Jill hates the idea, still grieving her father’s death. Mandy and Jill's distinct voices tell their intertwined stories. The girls' growth is made realistic through small inroads and slow progress. The depth of characterization is exceptional in this rewarding read.
