About this book
Missy Hewett was a success story in the small town of Prosperity, Maine. She was smart, pleasant--and pregnant in high school. Giving the child up for adoption was the answer, but then Missy decided she wanted her baby back. Both she and reporter Jack McMorrow, writing a story on teen parents, find it's not that simple. And in Missy's case, hunting a baby is a risky business.
