Theresa and Lisa are normal fourteen year old girls, attending a Denver high school and doing what teenage girls do. But life as they know it comes to a screeching halt when both girls face the shock of pregnancy--one as a result of sexual assault, and the other through a relationship with the boy downstairs. As they struggle to adapt to teenage motherhood, family drama, drugs, and alcohol will affect their attempts to raise their sons.

Coming of age has never been explored in such a raw and realistic way.

Rob Roy was raised in Aspen, Colorado. The son of an architect and part-time ski instructor, he sampled seven colleges and universities while earning a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology, and began working for the Colorado Migrant Council in 1969, when he taught farm workers. That same year he was involved with starting and running a Head Start program, tutoring school students and writing grants for a community college.

After hitchhiking through Europe and North Africa with a girlfriend and teaching English as a Second Language in Greece, the arrival of the Greek Army in his third-grade classroom was all the encouragement he needed to go home and get married. He went back to college, earned a Master's, and began teaching on the Fort Peck Reservation, the only school system at the time that would hire a husband and wife to teach together in the same school.

His marriage ended a few years later, and he moved to Guatemala to teach English before returning to the States, settling in Denver to teach ED and EH students. He remarried, got burned out on the ED and EH classroom, and decided to teach elementary school and travel. He and his wife most recently spent five weeks in South America.
