Unexpected is the first of a two-part series following Andie as she learns what unconditional love truly is. Discovering what it means to show it and finding it in places that are also unexpected. Book 1 follows Andie as she grows from a scared, secretive teenager into a mother, finding and creating an unexpected family that loves unconditionally.
The last thing Andie expected was to find herself pregnant at fifteen, almost sixteen. Her home life isn't conducive to having a baby. If her father finds out, she'll face far worse than simply being ignored the majority of the month. Her whole life she's kept the truth of her home life to herself, not telling even her best friend. Keeping this unexpected pregnancy secret shouldn't be that big of a difference.
Having the baby is one thing, keeping it is completely different. Until something else unexpected happens and she finds herself surrounded by people that care for her, about her. This unexpected change lets her do the one thing she never has before-hope that her future can be greater than her past as well as begin to explore the dynamics of something she doesn't entirely understand-love.
With every day, Andie grows further in love with her little girl, opening herself up to the others around them. When she's finally here, nothing will stop Andie from keeping her, giving her a better life, childhood than Andie had. She will protect Anna, physically and emotionally, in ways she never was.
Anna is the center of her world and surrounding it are the unexpected people who love her the way she's never known, unconditionally.
With some adult language, discussions of domestic violence, and child abuse, Unexpected is approximately 56,100 words. It may include subjects that are sensitive to some readers.
