Sixteen-year-old science-geek Eve returns from a service trip to discover she's pregnant. The unaware father Adam is still serving as a volunteer at the Dominican Republic orphanage where they met. They plan to exchange letters until he's back in Germany in mid-August, and can use texts and Face Time. By then, Eve will be eight-months pregnant--or not. Her best friend urges a quick abortion, while her pro-life mom and pro-choice dad insist she study both sdies of the debate. Eve's conclusion surprises her. She then stumbles upon an innovative solution--if she's willing to be the first person to try it. She is also awakened to how badly science and medicine have let women down. Eve suspects we'd be in an entirely different place if men had periods and carried unwanted embryos.This is a novel for pro-life and pro-choice women and their daughters.
