The first part ends with a teenage pregnancy themed young adult novel by Angela Johnson. This is the second book of "Trilogy of Heaven". From the perspective of the 16 - year - old father Bobby, Johnson writes a story in its first person stories and differentiates them from most books on the subject. This book is divided into four sections, and the chapter alternates between "that time" and "now". Children's mothers, Bobby and Nia are African-American teenagers in the middle class of New York City. Parents initially intended to hire their daughter's feathers, but Bobby alone raised a small girl and noticed how difficult it is to be a parent. Bobby is very tired and he can not always go to school on time. Bobby's mother will not do the job. Because Bobby only comes to rely on them. Nia, who is suffering from eclampsia while laying down feathers, is a life-threatening complication that puts her in a permanent coma.

The second rivet novel is dominated by a young father and is the "last" of Angela Johnson (2003). Bobby is an ordinary urban teenager - reckless, impatient, carefree. He went out to play with his best friend, went to school to celebrate his birthday, ate pizza, and watched a movie. When his girlfriend Nia was pregnant, his life changed suddenly. In the chapter between "of course" and "now", the reader will learn about the bitter relationship between Bobby and Nia and his current role as a faithful single father who is struggling. His parents are very supportive, but they insist that Bobby is responsible for all child rearing, but Bobby is determined to be the best dad among his daughter's wings;
