Product Description

Product Description
Fifteen-year old Mia lives with her dad in a small rural community. When she discovers that she's pregnant she doesn't know where to turn - her elder sisters have left home, her mum left when Mia was six, her boyfriend, Will, is too scared to be anyhelp and her dad tries to push her into an abortion. Backed into a corner, she runs away and joins two women on a canal boat. Nobody can find her now but she discovers that the women have their own tragic stories. A fire on the boat makes her realise that she must take responsibility for the baby and herself and that home is the most likely place to get help. Her mother re-enters her life and Will's mother involves herself. Mia learns about love and realises how much her father has done for her.

5.0 out of 5 stars An insightful portrayal of a teenage girl's dilemma, 10 Jun 2003
By A Customer
Julia Green shows a sensitive understanding of the complexity of the decisions facing 15-year-old Mia when she finds she is pregnant. The reader will empathise with Mia's isolation and vulnerability. Left by her own mother as a child, Mia has grown more distant from her father as she approaches adulthood. Her sisters have left home, her boyfriend is just that - a 'boy' who is too immature to cope with the unforeseen pregnancy - and school places its own irrelevant demands upon her. Mia has to somehow find her way through her emotional trauma: not only deciding what to do about the pregnancy, but coming to terms with her relationship with both her father and mother. Adult characters and young people alike are portrayed with a great deal of insight and plausibility, inviting the reader's sympathy and understanding. This is a book which takes you through emotional ups and downs: at times, it will make you feel sad. You will care what happens to the characters and you won't want to put the book down until you find out what happens. Ultimately, this is a very satisfying read.
