Small Damages
by Beth Kephart
Publication Expected: July 19th 2012
Philomel
It’s senior year, and while Kenzie should be looking forward to prom and starting college in the fall, she is mourning the loss of her father. She finds solace in the one person she trusts, her boyfriend, and she soon finds herself pregnant. Kenzie’s boyfriend and mother do not understand her determination to keep the baby. She is sent to southern Spain for the summer, where she will live out her pregnancy as a cook’s assistant on a bull ranch, and her baby will be adopted by a Spanish couple.
Alone and resentful in a foreign country, Kenzie is at first sullen and difficult. She begins to open her eyes and her heart to the beauty that is all around her and inside of her.
This looks SO good to me. Just the premise of a girl getting pregnant and then sent off to Spain to have the baby and give it up seems like a great book. I love when characters go through internal change, and I really hope Ms. Kephart does it good. Can't wait!
