When Gayle gets into trouble with her boyfriend, her mother sends the street-smart 14-year-old-and her baby, Jose-down to Georgia, to live with Uncle Luther and his family.

Then Gayle meets Great, the family matriarch-and her stories of the past begin to change how Gayle sees her future. 'Williams-Garcia has surpassed herself.'She has set these fictional characters? firmly in the real world while still allowing them to rise from the pages and into readers? hearts and imaginations.? ?The Horn Book, starred review

Like Sisters on the Homefront
This is still popular with adolescents despite being over 20 years old so I had been wanting to read it. It is fast paced and dramatic. The dialect is a little dated, but gives the book style. I enjoyed Gayle's inner monologue and how the author used it to reveal how she was changing. Preachy and straightforward in parts but overall still a realistic look at attitudes about teen pregnancy.
