What would you do if you were pregnant—and a virgin? The summer before her senior year, Mina Dietrich gets pregnant. Teen pregnancy is not unheard of in her small town in Pennsylvania, but what makes Mina’s truly remarkable is that she claims to be a virgin. At first, nobody believes her: her father blames her boyfriend; her boyfriend thinks she must have cheated on him; her friend suspects that whatever happened to make Mina pregnant was so traumatic, she’s blocked it from her mind. As news of Mina’s story spreads, there are those who brand her a slut. There are those her brand her a heretic. And then there are those who believe her—and believe that unborn child might be the second coming of the Messiah. A thought-provoking and respectful approach to big issues like teen sexuality and religion in modern-day America.
