Someone to Love

So begins a journal written by Sara, addressed to the unborn baby her parents plan to adopt.

Sara, an only child, is already going through a rough time with her over protective, control-freak parents and has mixed feelings about the new sibling. . .

I guess they figure I'm a lost cause so they'll start over. . .Anything that keeps them off my back is a definite plus...

But when fifteen-year-old Sara meets Iris, the pregnant teenager who wants to give her baby up for adoption, Sara becomes totally involved with a new kind of lifestyle. While she lives with all the comforts of a middle-class home, she has to deal with her parents' values and restrictions. Iris is free-living with her fun-loving, bike-riding boyfriend, making jewelry, and coming and going as she pleases. It's a life Sara envies...

There 's so much I can learn from Iris- about leaving home, making it on my own, falling in love, living with a guy. . .

And bit by bit she and Iris become closer, as the gap between Sara and her parents widens...Dear Mystery Baby. . .
