Farah's Deadline

Sassy, strong-willed, and pregnant, Farah Menins plans to be married at sixteen after her dad dumps her in a "special home" to be rid of her. Trapped in a place full of rules, Farah refuses to admit defeat — not when marriage would give her an out. Farah's roommate Lizbet hides her own painful secrets, and together, they forge an unlikely friendship when Farah sneaks off to confront her baby's father. A dead baby, a mystery brother, and a house fire threaten to derail Farah's plans. The confusion is compounded when Lizbet's brother shows interest in her. With time running out, will Farah be able to salvage any of her dream?
