Place reservation for Look at you now : one girl's journey from shame to strengthIn 1979, Liz Pryor, a good girl from a wealthy Chicago family, fell accidentally pregnant. At only 17, her parents made the difficult decision to send Liz away to have the baby before giving it up for adoption, and to keep the pregnancy secret from everyone she knew. Like a fish out of water, Liz landed in a dismal state-run Catholic facility for disadvantaged teenagers. All pregnant, the youngest just 13, the girls she encountered in the institution would change her life forever - their friendships and shared understandings growing as their girths increased. Written with tremendous warmth, Liz provides rich insights into human nature and the anguish of this extraordinary event that was kept secret until now.
