Is that your plan?" her mother asked, this time her hands on her hips, tears rushing down her eyes.Adanna stared at her mom, not knowing whether to comfort her or confront her. Seeing her mother cry was not her plan, but this choice she was forcing on her was difficult."But Mom... but... I... I love him, Mom."

She must confront the harsh realities of her situation and make a choice that will alter her future forever.
