Bobby's sixteenth birthday brings change to his life, but not the usual sort of change. His girlfriend, Nia, is pregnant. The book alternates chapters between now, where Bobby is struggling to raise his baby Feather on his own, and then, the story of Bobby and Nia and how their family and friends deal with Nia's pregnancy. Bobby's love for Feather is achingly beautiful, and his attempts to balance school, work, a social life, and being a father are realistic, poignant, and provocative.Find this book shelved under Y JOH on the Coretta Scott King shelf.
