"Ms. Rankins conveys the heartbreak and joy of giving birth as a single mom in the context of her own loving family. We embrace the African American tradition of loving all children born into this world. The absent father could have been portrayed as evil instead of human, thoughtless and cold. Instead of maudlin or tragic our herioine rises to motherhood with grace and style, creating a loving home for her son and a sweet story for us.

"Living in the South, I have seen this scenario many times. This is a well-written book and I want to read more! I was disappointed when it ended. Hope the author continues the story in the future.

"This book started off with a good story line. It was detailed about beginning of relationship, however, the ending was open ended. I hope that there is a continuation book.
