What You Left Behind by Jessica Verdi

4.0

Ryden used to be on the soccer team, have friends and was working for a scholarship to play college soccer. This all came to a screeching halt the day he met Meg. Then Meg got pregnant and stopped her chemo that could have saved her life. Now Ryden is a teenage parent going into his senior year in high school.
The only person that makes Ryden feel normal is Joni. But how do you share this kind of secret with the only person that’s not looking down on you right now for your past choices?
This is a very compelling read. I have yet to see another story like it. And for all those teen dads out there, there is life after children.
