title: A Dance for Three
author: Plummer, Louise
description: Hannah:
  
  Today, when Mama learns I'm pregnant, she doesn't ask about Milo.  What will Milo think?  She doesn't ask what I'm going to do about the baby, if I'm scared.  She doesn't say, What about high school?  She doesn't say, You're not old enough to drive yet.  She doesn't say, What can I do?
  Trilby:
  
  My mom thinks I should go visit Hannah, and she calls the hospital about visiting hours, but Hannah can't see anyone. I'm relieved. I don't know what I'd say to her....My head fills with questions I don't dare ask her. What is it like to have sex? What is it like to be pregnant?
  Roman:
  
  I know why I'm mad. I want to hold the baby too. I want to be his uncle. I seem to be the only one in the family who even wants to consider that he is our relation.  If only Hannah had fallen for me.  If only, if only.  Fat chance, next to Milo.
  When she finds out she's pregnant at age fifteen, Hannah Ziebarth believes she'll be all right. She'll start a family with Milo, and the three of them will live happily ever after.
  Then reality hits hard.
  Louise Plummer tells Hannah's powerful story from three perspectives.  But from every angle, this is a tale of loss, recovery and self-discovery.
