An interesting memoir of a 15 year old girl and her unwanted pregancy in the 60's. The book is compelling as a historical reference of a time period not long ago when pregnant teens were sent away to a girls home to have thier babies and often forced to give the babies away. What was really interesting to see was the innocence of the teens - how no one prepares them for what was going on - the girls seem to be victims of their secret.
This is a short and quick read. I would recommend it for anyone who would want insight into their own adoption, especially if they were born during this time period.… (mais)

A true story of a young woman who finds herself pregnant in 1962. She tells her story in very simple way, describing her naivety and the shame associated with unwed pregnancy at that time. It was a good picture of the era and of her feelings and experiences in going through delivery and eventually giving up her child for adoption. Thank goodness that times have changed mostly for the better for women and children! The adage "good old days" doesn't always ring true! I enjoyed this quick read and was intrigued enough to read it right through. I would recommend it, especially to anyone who remembers how things used to be, or anyone interested in learning about this time.… (mais)
