I don't read nonfiction very often. This however was a wonderfully written memoir that I am so glad I took a chance on. The writing was beautiful and the story hooked me.

Marylee was adopted as an infant. She gets pregnant at 15 and heads to a home for pregnant unwed women. She has her baby and surrenders it but stays with the boyfriend (father of the baby). She eventually marries him and they have more kids.

This story is a full emotional rollercoaster. It must have been so scary to have gone through this at that point in time at a young age. I can't even imagine. I love that she married the child's father in the end because they were in love the whole time. It gave a very interesting perspective on adoption as well.

Thanks to bookishfirst and the publisher for this review copy to review. I definitely recommend this book. It was a great change of pace for me.
