No One's Baby
From the Series Lorimer SideStreets
Adopted by Caucasian parents, biracial teen Lizzie has never felt like she belongs. After the death of her father, Lizzie starts acting out—dating, staying away from home for days, and giving up her plans to continue her education. When Lizzie discovers she is pregnant, she is faced with the difficult choice of having a child or getting an abortion. This leads Lizzie to want to find her own birth mother. After running away from home, Lizzie ends up in a town called Kingston, where she tracks down an older woman named Ruth who sheds light on the circumstances surrounding Lizzie’s birth.
