 14 year old Annie is a happy, smart student who loves playing on the soccer team and hanging out with her girlfriends.  She is obsessively in love with Danny, her abusive boyfriend.  When she gets pregnant by him, he drops her and has nothing more to do with her.  Through her diary entries, you learn about Annie’s desperate struggles with being pregnant, having to go to a different school for unwed teenage moms, giving up soccer and her friends, and dealing with the responsibility of caring for a baby, which she doesn’t want or know how to handle.  (Davinna Artibey, Denver Center for International Studies, DPS, CO)
