YA
Sixteen-year-old November Nelson discovers she's pregnant only weeks after the tragic death of her boyfriend, Josh. His parents mount a campaign to adopt the baby, and November must decide whether to give up custody. The story alternates points of view between November and Josh's cousin Jericho (Battle of Jericho). Some stilted dialogue and oversimplification of issues dilute the drama.
