From Booklist
Gr. 7^-12. Cassie's father rules his cowering family with an iron fist. When Cassie's friendship with Seth turns romantic and results in pregnancy, her father has her placed in the McNaughton Home for Girls outside Knoxville, Tennessee. In effect, the quality of life is potentially better there for the sweet-natured teen, but Seth's quest to reach her takes such an intense, reckless turn that the two of them end up as fugitives on the run. The young father-to-be wants to make up for his own father's abandonment, whereas Cassie just wants the love and security she never had at home, as she confides to the reader through her diary. Zach has written an overtly cautionary tale about the difficulty of teen parenthood and the wisdom of releasing a newborn to adoptive parents who can care for the child, but our sympathy for the characters and the fast-paced plot in which Cassie and Seth become increasingly desperate make this suspenseful teen romance a page-turner.

A book about true love a love not permitted by parents. Two young teens fall in love but their parents dont want them together. So both of them runaway. It ends as a sequal which the other should start writing soon! You wont be able to wait.
