review 1: Jules has gone through some drama in her young life, including getting pregnant at 16, and her dream of becoming a little family is shattered when the baby's father takes off. Jules' own father left when she was small, and her mother is a slightly bitter, no-nonsense, overworked woman who struggles to get by. Jules tries to make a life for herself and her baby girl Zoe, but no one will acknowledge the baby, which alienates the relationships Jules has with her best friend and further strains the tenuous relationship with her mother. However, with the help of medical personnel, some painful secretes are revealed and the healing begins.
review 2: Jules gets pregnant at 16 and is deliriously happy about it. So, when she learns that the fetus is ectopic and she won'... moret be able to carry it to term she is devastated. So much so that she goes a little cray cray and wakes up where SHE believes is an apt for new mothers with her baby Zoe-but what is ACTUALLY a mental hospital with a rolled up ball of socks in a blanket. haha. I'm sorry-it's not funny but it kind of is! Socks! haha. Anyway-it was only a 150 page book so I read in it like an hour so that was ok. It was worth an hour. less
