|  | Her Daughter's Eyes by Jessica Barksdale Inclan
When their mother dies, teenagers Kate and Tyler Phillips find themselves alone. Their grief-stricken father, in denial, spends almost all of his time at his new girlfriend's house, leaving his own kids to fend for themselves. When Kate becomes pregnant, the sisters enter a hermetic world of their own. They tell no one of Kate's pregnancy and manage to prepare for the birth without anyone discovering Kate's condition. They deliver the child, a girl named Deirdre, themselves, and care for her themselves. When the child's existence is finally discovered, their makeshift family is threatened by the authorities, and their father, charged with abandonment, is finally forced to confront his own emotions.
