Sixteen-year-old Eleanor Crowe has a mind of her own and no one is going to tell her what to do. But when she finds herself pregnant, she realizes that her options are limited: go to Kenya with her missionary parents or marry Lam, the baby's father, and live with his parents at their summer camp for overweight children. Despite her initial reluctance to help out, Elly is surprised to discover that she actually enjoys working with the kids at camp,if not for her mother-in-law's constant disapproval. When her baby is born, unexpected emotions and situations spin out of control, and Elly has to call on her stubbornness and determination to step up and become an advocate for her future and for the life she has created. A thought-provoking and courageous new novel by National Book Award winner Han Nolan.
