Review: slow start, but stick through to the end
Rating: 4 out of 5

This book tells a soul-satisfying tale of family secrets and lies, treating teen pregnancy with compassion, understanding and realism.  The trans-generational aspects are presented without preaching, and by the end, the reader feels compassion and empathy for all characters, including the grandmother, who remains unchanged in behavior and attitude.  I gave it a 4 star review only because some of the events seemed to be contrived i order to create the character development.
