The story is about Linda Beaupre and her son. Linda Beaupre was 16 years old when she had a baby boy who she raised on her own. She was afraid of raising her son incorrectly because she was so young. She was happy that God was there to help her when things weren't going well. She had problems with her son's behaviour. She encouraged herself to go on and solve her problems. She found it difficult to talk to her mother about her son. Now she is more mature and she is doing a lot better than before.

The book was very interesting to read. The story made us sad because she was very young to raise a child on her own. We liked the book. Young single mothers would find it especially interesting. There are a lot of drawings in the book that help explain what the book is about.
