I was drawn to this book by the subject matter and morale dilemma of a high school principal having a teen-aged daughter who gets pregnant - on purpose no less! I would consider this a "good" book, but there was not enough happening in it to be really riveting. It kind of dragged for me in the middle when it kept going around and around who was supportive, who was pointing fingers, etc. It was very interesting to see how far stretching of an effect the teenage pregnancies had and what long-term outcomes came of the girl's irrational behavior. In the end, it wrapped up nicely and I had tears in my eyes. I would recommend this book - I'm just not raving about it.
