Money is tight, though that’s nothing new in her world.

But everything changes when she gets pregnant.

Having a baby at sixteen was definitely not part of the plan.

It did not include helping her best friend through a pregnancy.

But that’s what best friends do, right?

Besides, Kelly has every intention of being a good auntie.

They’ll also discover a deep reserve of strength and compassion…for each other and themselves.

Here’s hoping the fact-checker got hazard pay.
