      About This Book

      MATT LOVED EVERYTHING about Emmy. He loved her freckled, luminous, magical body. He loved her free spirit. He loved the future he saw when he found out Emmy was pregnant. And he loved her answer when her parents protested their decision to keep the baby: "We'll just love it, okay?"

      Full of emotion and insight, Mahalia is the story of one teenage boy's struggle to be a better father than he knows how.
