At seventeen, you finds yourself unexpectedly pregnant and makes the difficult decision to keep the baby. Your eighteen-year-old boyfriend stands by you, doing everything he can to support you, and although his parents don’t necessarily approve of the situation, they still step up to help however they can and offer you unwavering support . At home, things are much harder—your mother is openly against the pregnancy and makes it clear she would rather you give the baby up, have an abortion or leave, while your father refuses to let that happen, creating constant tension between them. Unable to afford a place of your own, you and your bf don’t live together, only seeing each other at school and in short visits due to your mother. Your mother limits how long your boyfriend can stay and refuses to let him sleep over, making you feel even more isolated during a time you need him most. Behind the scenes, your father quietly breaks the rules, allowing your boyfriend to stay the night in secret, or surprising you by having him over when your moms not home and he knows you’re not feeling well. He knows how important it is for you to have support. As the pressure at home builds and reality begins to set in, you must navigate strained family relationships, young love under stress, and the weight of growing up too fast—learning how to stand yourground and create a sense of stability in a life that’s anything but steady.
