I Want to Keep My Baby!

Great book. Read it for the first time in high school. Could never find another copy until I discovered this site. Touching story. A great book for teenagers-especially those teens who are thinking about getting pregnant at a young age.

We had to read this in Catholic High School because it somehow warned us against the perils of teenage parenthood. A few things to note - the more things change the more they stay the same. Mariel Hemingway pulls off the struggles of a 15 year old in a very adult situation. Her character's own former single mother now remarried and wild as ever ... is no help at all quite possibly set up the situation. Nonetheless ... looking for love at such a young age, when still a child, is an express route for often disasterous results.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to get pregnant at fifteen and keep your baby? Well this book tells you what it feels like. The book is full of emotional scenes and you get a good feel for what the character is going through. The ending is beautiful and surprising. You'll be needing lots of tissus for the last few pages. (I know I did!) So open the book, here it crack and dig in! Believe in the power of reading!!!

A young girl who becomes pregnant thinks that everything is going to be perfect. She plans on getting married to the man who made her pregnant and live happily ever after. How ever after the child is born she finds she is very wrong and life is not so perfect.
