Sara, sixteen, is in denial about her pregnancy and too far along for an abortion. Her once-devoted boyfriend has disappeared so Sara decides her only option is an open adoption with George and Eva, a couple desperate for a child. After the birth it's clear Sara has a bond with the child that Eva can't duplicate and Eva and George make a drastic decision, with devastating consequences for them all.

About this title

Review:

"Leavitt's writing is so fluid, her characters so well realized, I found myself reading nearly until the sun came up. When I was finished I felt as though I had made a new friend, and had stayed up all night listening to her stories."
- Pam Houston, author of "Cowboys are My Weakness" and "A Little More About Me"
"Given the hot topic of this novel--open adoptions gone wrong--you'd expect a finger-pointing, too-PC tone. But Leavitt's surprising take will get your book group really "talking.""
- "Glamour"
