Hilary Birdson is only sixteen when she finds herself pregnant and completely alone. For Miles, it was just a summer fling and he wants nothing to do with her or their baby. Her parents, still recovering from the sudden death of Hilary's brother Bird in a fraternity hazing accident, are unsupportive as well. They send her to a home for pregnant girls and she reluctantly chooses a wonderful couple to raise her son, Tom. Although she goes through with the adoption and is comforted by the knowledge that her baby is very loved and well cared for, Hilary never gets over losing Tom. Her dream of reuniting with him someday keeps her going for many years and their eventual reunion does not disappoint. A riveting novel about a broken family and a mother's love for her son.
