(2) YA Before Mahalia was born, seventeen-year-old Matt and his girlfriend Emmy defended their decision to keep the baby, telling Emmy's parents, "We'll just love it, okay?" Five and a half months later, Matt is struggling to care for Mahalia alone after Emmy gives up and leaves town. Horniman poignantly conveys Matt's love for his baby, his longing for Emmy's companionship, and his frustration with being an unemployed single father.
