About

'Heartbreaking, visceral, and powerful' Kathleen Glasgow, author of Girl in Pieces

A stunningly powerful YA novel from a master storyteller told in both prose and verse.

No one knows Ruby is pregnant - not even Ruby herself. So when she gives birth at school on a miserable February morning, her world is thrown into chaos. Keeping the baby isn't an option, but keeping quiet about who the father of her child definitely is; because if Ruby's best friend Ashley finds out the truth, then she'll lose her too.

When Ruby finally realises what she and her baby need, somehow that doesn't seem to matter any more. So Ruby must take matters into her own hands, with tragic consequences...
