And We Stay

And We Stay by Jenny Hubbard 224 Pages

Emily and Paul have been dating for a while. Then Emily got pregnant. She wanted to have an abortion and broke up with Paul. Paul came to school with a gun and threatened Emily. Then shot himself. Now Emily is at a boarding school feeling very alone. She writes poetry, like another famous Emily, who went to school at Emily’s new boarding school. Maybe her poetry, along with some new friends, can help Emily find some peace. This is a very good story that deals with a sensitive issue compassionately. Most teen girls that like quieter relationship stories will enjoy it.
