Publisher's Summary

A shocking story about a 15-year-old girl and the man who took advantage of her.

"You might as well know from the start, I'm not going to tell on him, and I don't care how much trouble I get in. It's not like it could get any worse than it already is. I can't. Don't ask me why, I just can't."

When Nina finds out that her 15-year-old daughter, Scarlett, is pregnant, her world falls apart.

Because Scarlet won't tell anyone who the father is. And Nina is scared that the answer will destroy everything.

As the suspects mount - from Scarlett's teacher to Nina's new husband of less than a year - Nina searches for the truth...no matter what the cost.

Good storyline- annoyingly read...

I think the plot was good but I didn't enjoy the way it was read. Unfortunately this detracted from my enjoyment of the book to the point where I'd advise people to read it for yourself rather than listen to the audiobook.

Horrible!

I cannot find one good thing to say about this book!
Terrible predictable story line. Been told a million times before
Narrator does not read text in a logical way.
Nothing to recommend here!
