But weeks into their new college life, Abby drops the bomb - she is pregnant, and dropping out of college.

She struggles to move on from her friendship with Abby, and befriends two new girls at college - Kiley and Cari. Everything seems back on track for Jasmine - great new friendships and roommates, a strong relationship with boyfriend Nate, and excelling at her college courses. But Jasmine's newfound happiness is shattered when her pregnancy test comes out positive. Does she have to drop out of college now and become a young mother? Will Nate stay with her? How can she afford a child? Jasmine's life has been filled with obstacles and challenges along the way - from a missing father, sexual and physical abuse, and addictions that tore her family apart. With this latest setback, Jasmine fears her life will always be a struggle."
