I was disappointed in this one. I really like Marlene's character and her husband Butch's too. However, her overly religious daughter Lucy, got on my ever-lovin nerves! I didn't really like the premise - throw-away babies. The book revolves around teens who dispose of their newborns in the garbage and the prosecution of said mothers. Both Marlene and Butch are trying cases (separate cases in separate states) and the cavalier attitude of everyone (lawyers, cops and defendants) towards these poor babies was deeply disturbing. I thought the ending was poorly done and was disappointed in the outcome of Marlene's case. Though I did like the way Butch handled his.
