Riassunto

Roberta Fischer’s retirement is shattered when her son Jack is released from prison and comes home to live. His behavior evokes explosive reactions from Roberta, frightening her and adding yet another layer of guilt.Kenisha is a bright, but very pregnant, African-American girl from a dysfunctional home whom Roberta meets at the Teen Moms’ Center. As their friendship grows Roberta works to redeem herself as a mother by helping Kenisha find a road to a better life. Roberta promotes staying in school and putting the coming baby up for adoption, but Kenisha insists that she will keep the baby, no matter what. Why? “Because having a baby is the only way to have something to love that will love you back.”Navigating a perilous path that includes violence and tragedy as well as unimaginable joy, Jack, Kenisha, and Roberta all discover that a good life sometimes comes at a very high price.
