Not My Daughter by Barbara Delinsky

A modern tale of mother's angst for her daughter. Three seniors (actually four, but that comes later) agree to get pregnant and have babies. It'll be lots of fun, right? Then Susan Tate's daughter Lily finally tells her mother that she's pregnant, doesn't want the father to know, it'll be a piece of cake, and after all, Susan is an unwed mother isn't she? Susan, high school principal, a respected member of the community, is devastated. A good read for mother's, mother's to be and daughters. Dads might like it, too. Delinsky is not this readers favorite author, but this is a pretty good book. Makes you think. Sandy Penton
