The Light Of Her Life

Callie Ackerman would do anything for her son EXCEPT sell herself. Yet that was always what creeps expected her to do. As if having a pretty face automatically made that the only thing she was good for. 

Being beautiful had only ever caused her trouble. It was how she ended up with Carter in the first place. 

She had been home visiting from college when her mom's creep of a boyfriend came on to her. Not only had her mom not believed her and stopped providing any degree of financial support, she was pregnant and all alone in the world. 

Originally, Callie had planned on putting the baby up for adoption but knew she couldn't the moment she saw his sweet little face. This was her son. The only family she had left. She wasn't about to give him up. 

That decision meant she had to give up a lot of other things though. Her youth. Her freedom. Her education. 

She was nineteen when she gave birth. No one expected her to succeed.
