Like Sisters on the Homefront by Rita Williams-Garcia

4.0

I thought this sounded interesting, because I can't even begin to know what it would be like to be a twice pregnant, African american 14 year old. It's a great book. Hard to put down, and there's something deeply compelling about Gayle's hard shell -- I was fascinated at the idea that one of the things your community does for you is to fight with with you, That snapping at each other is a healing thing. I loved her journey, even though it is certainly a hard one. And I particularly loved that she was always 100% into her kid. Not always a stellar exemplar of parenting, but definitely very attached and committed to him.

Being reissued, got the advanced reader's copy from Edelweiss.
