When Susan Tate's seventeen-year-old daughter, Lily, announces she is pregnant, Susan is stunned. A single mother, she has struggled to do everything right. She sees the pregnancy as an inconceivable tragedy both for Lily and herself. Then comes word of two more pregnancies among other high school juniors who happen to be Lily's best friends. The town turns to talk of a pact. As fingers start pointing, the emotional ties between mothers and daughters are stretched to breaking in an emotionally wrenching story of love and forgiveness.

Not My Daughter
The premice for this story was intriguing (though highly unlikely). Four 17-yr-old girls from good families make a pact to all become pregnant at the same time. (This isn't a "spoiler comment," because it occurs in the first few chapters). They don't want husbands, just babies. For no apparent reason. Which is what makes the girls unsympathetic protagonists. How can we feel sorry for those self-destructive immature idiots? Of course, they can't support themselves, so they expect to live with their families of origin while they enjoy the pleasures of motherhood sans responsibilities and without being bothered by intrusive husbands.
The book is centered on their mothers' reactions to the pregnancies. They agonize about them endlessly. Their own reputations are tarnished, particularly Susan's, as she is the high school principal. The book drags on and on and doesn't go anywhere. Everybody sits around knitting and discussing how upset they are.
I wanted to like this book, but it didn't hold my interest.
