(3) YA Sixteen-year-old Kat admires her renowned midwife mother professionally, even if they sometimes clash personally. After a classmate gets pregnant, Kat begins her own nine-month odyssey toward self-discovery. Kat's coming-of-age tale, compassionately and humorously told, will appeal to many readers, while her family's environmentally savvy, New-Agey outlook will speak more directly to green teens.
