"An unexpected teenage pregnancy pulls together two families from different social classes, and exposes the private hopes, disappointments, and longings that can bind or divide us from each other. Moving forward and backward in time, the novel uncovers the role that history and community have played in the experiences, decisions, and relationships of these families, and in the life of the new child."
