The book of Essie

Essie is the youngest daughter on a reality show about a religious family of the "fire-and-brimstone" variety. She has grown up in front of the cameras. When her family discovers that she is pregnant, they decide to marry her off immediately in a show that will send ratings through the roof. Essie pushes for Roarke from her school's baseball team, and he agrees--though he is hiding a secret of his own. And Essie begins to wonder if she can trust her secret to anyone, and what she would give up for her own freedom.
