by Liz Pryor - Memoir

When 17-year-old Liz discovers that she’s pregnant, her parents are determined to keep it a secret from her friends, siblings and community forever. So her mother drops her off at a government-run facility for delinquent and impoverished pregnant teenage girls. In the cement-block residence, Liz is alone and terrified, a fish out of water --- a girl from a privileged, sheltered background living amid tough, street-savvy girls who come from the foster care system or juvenile detention. But over the next six months, isolated and in involuntary hiding from everyone she knows, Liz develops a surprising bond with the other girls and begins to question everything she once held true.
