Description: "Serena is no stranger to hardship. With a father in prison and a mother who 'barely cares, ' she made it to her senior year at Finley High knowing she can only depend on herself. As prom season approaches, she expects to be left out in the cold, but an unexpected date offer changes everything. Jamar, founder of the school's Bible club, is Serena's opposite in so many ways. She can't believe he's willing to take a chance on her. She knows he'll run for the hills when he finds out she's pregnant"--Page 4 of cover.
