A future shaped by family and choice

Kansas Jones has mapped out a high-achieving future, but an unexpected pregnancy forces her to reconsider what she wants and what she owes the people she loves. Her aunt’s failed IVF attempt adds a family dimension to Kansas’s decision, while the possibility of open adoption links the choice to both her ambitions and the baby’s future. The story brings together teen pregnancy, adoption, family ties, and the tension between personal plans and care for others. Its central dilemma is not presented as an easy answer, but as a choice with lasting implications for Kansas and her family.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in fiction about pregnancy and adoption.
  • Readers drawn to stories about family relationships and difficult choices.
  • Readers interested in characters balancing educational ambitions with family responsibilities.

Book overview

One mistake. Twelve weeks. A future that hangs in the balance.

Kansas Jones has her life calculated to the millisecond: Class president, varsity swimmer, and a straight-A student destined for MIT. Her only focus is the R2-RoboCon competition-until a positive pregnancy test crashes her perfectly programmed world.

Now, the girl who always has the right answers is facing a question with no easy solution. But the choice becomes even more complicated when her aunt's final attempt at IVF fails.

Kansas knows she could be the answer to her aunt's prayers, but an open adoption means staying close to the life-and the baby-she's supposed to leave behind. To give her aunt a miracle, Kansas might have to sacrifice the MIT dream she's worked for her entire life.

For fans of Far from the Tree-a poignant, witty, and deeply compelling story about the impossible space between loving your family and following your dreams.
