Another




Barbara Delinsky writes a lovely little novel. I've read a few and enjoyed them. "Not My Daughter" was a nice quick read. A small New England town is devastated to hear that 3 of their most outstanding senior girls have made a pact to become pregnant. The principal's daughter happens to be one of those girls and is the first one that is outted. The principal was also a 17 year old when she discovered that she was pregnant and her father threw her out of his house. She raised her daughter on her own and managed to get her education and work her way up from teacher to principal. Unfortunately not everyone in the town wanted her to continue in her job after it was discovered she "wasn't the perfect mother" since she apparently couldn't control her daughter. Lots of emotions and family drama.
