When Susan Tate's 17-year-old little girl, Lily, announces she actually is pregnant, Susan is stunned. A single mother, she's struggled to do everything right. She sees the pregnancy as an unimaginable tragedy for both Lily and herself. Then comes word of two more pregnancies among high-school juniors who are actually Lily's best friends - and the city turns to speak of an pact. As fingers start pointing, the most ardent criticism is directed at Susan. As primary of the senior high school, she has always been held up as a role model of hard work and core beliefs. Now her detractors accuse her of being a lax mom, perhaps not worth the job of shepherding impressionable students. As Susan challenges with the implications of her daughter's pregnancy, her job, financial freedom, and long-fought-for dreams are all at risk. The psychological ties between mothers and daughters are extended to breaking in this emotionally wrenching storyline of love and forgiveness. Once again, Barbara Delinsky has given us a powerful novel, the one which asks a central question: Exactly what does it take to be considered a good mother?
