A great story that every parent should read. Four 17-year-olds -- good students, good athletes, good girls -- entering their senior year of high school make a pact to get pregnant so their children can be best friends just as they are. The girls' moms are also good friends with each other and one of them happens to be the principal of the high school the girls attend in a conservative town. This story delves into the complex decisions that the planned pregnancies require the girls, their families, and the townspeople to make. Relationships between moms and daughters, husbands and wives, employers and employees, pregnant girls and the fathers-to-be, family members, coworkers, and acquaintances are largely affected by the girls' actions, many that, unfortunately, the teenagers had not considered when forming their pact. This book will make any parent realize that, yes, it could be your daughter (or son).
