The Pregnancy Project

So far, I have read many inspirational books. Many have had strong messages, like: Despite all the sadness, there will always be a good thing that come with it. In the book, "The Pregnancy Project", we meet Gaby Rodriguez. Yes, the title might have you thinking, "The Pregnancy Project? What is this book about a girl experimenting and magically getting pregnant?" well it's not. Gaby has always had a tough life, she lives in a poor city, she has a lot of nieces and nephews, and  her mother had a lot of money issues. Gaby takes us through her mother life. Her mother was an immigrant living in California. Her mother had her first child at fourteen. After that, she had about six more children. The boy who pregnant her was the one she married and stayed with for a long time. He was the father of her current 7 kids, but Gaby's mother felt something was different. She was never truly in love with the father of her children, she actually wished he didn't stay by her side, but things started to change. She would always listen to him. She wouldn't dare to disobey him, but one day she did and that was the day they were over. She  found out he was cheating. They both raced to get the divorce papers to the court. Sadly, he won. Besides divorcing her, he took her children away. Ever since, she tried anything and everything to get her children back. Gaby's mother realized that the only way to get her children back is if she worked for it. She had to leave to another state in search of a job. Being illegal made it hard for her to find a job, but she didn't give up. Her mother was getting pushed around by bad luck, luckily, she was strong enough to get through it. Will Gaby's mom be strong enough to resist all the pain and anger? Or will she give up on her children? Gaby's mother reminds me of mine. My mom has been pushed around all her life. I'm proud to say she is my mother because despite all of the tough things throw at her, she's strong.

This story literally just began and it already has many things going on! Starting off with Juana's, (Gaby's mother) ex-husband taking away her children. She found him cheating so she went to turn in divorce papers, sadly, Juana's husband beat her and besides that he got custody of the children. Right now the big question is, Will Juana get her children back? She's doing all she can to get them back by her side. She left the state of California in search of a job to prove she can take care of her children. She keeps getting held back because of things that happen like her friend dying on their way to Montana. She has to fight against everything. And she will.
