At sixteen, she thought the hardest part would be telling her parents she was pregnant. She had no idea that the boy who promised he would “figure it out” would disappear almost immediately, leaving her to face a broken home, a frightened mother, an angry father, and a future that suddenly looked nothing like the one she had planned.
