Not My Daughter (2010)

Teenager Lily and her friends make a pact to get pregnant. None of them think that their behaviour will affect anyone else, especially their parents. The 17-year-olds all think they can be better mothers than some of the woman they had seen in town. Each girl happily goes to tell their mothers that they are pregnant. But none of them foresee what will happen once their plan is made public. Lily's mother, Susan, is the high school principal so faces scrutiny from the school board and the town. Susan was herself 17 and pregnant when she started over in this town and now her reputation is on the line. Although I would not have chosen to read this if it had not been a book club selection, I really enjoyed it and look forward to reading more from this author. (JG)
