Sixteen-year-old Indy struggles to conceal her pregnancy while searching for a place to belong in this stunning debut novel thats perfect for fans of Amber Smith and Sara Zarr.

Indira Ferguson has done her best to live by her Grammys rules--study hard in school, be respectful, and never let a boy take advantage of her. But it hasnt always been easy, especially living in her mothers shadow.

When Indy is sent to stay in Nassau, trouble follows her and she must hide an unwanted pregnancy from her aunt, who would rather throw Indy out onto the street than see the truth. Completely broke with only a hand-me-down pregnancy book as a resource, Indy desperately looks for a safe space to call home.
