Four teenage girls. Four different stories. What they all have in common is that they're dealing with unplanned pregnancies.
In rural Georgia, Izella is wise beyond her years but burdened with the responsibility of her older sister, Ola, who has found out she's pregnant. Their young neighbor, Missippi, is also pregnant but doesn't fully understand the extent of her predicament. When her father send her to Chicago to give birth, she meets the final narrator, Susan, who is white and the daughter of an anti-choice senator.
Randi Pink masterfully weaves four lives into a larger story- as timely as ever- about a women's right to choose her future.
Randi Pink is the author of Into White, which Booklist called a "debut [that] ought to inspire readers to have a conversation among themselves about family, empathy, community, and respect for other" in a starred review. She lived with her family and two rescue dogs in Birmingham, Alabama, where she works for a branch of National Public Radio.
