Nice Girl by Julia Carol Folsom It's 1965. Fifteen-year-old Callie Ingram is a naive, lonely girl in a small southern town. Home is a battleground, and money's hard to come by. When she takes a part-time waitress job, Callie meets Nick Gamble, a prominent, married businessman twice her age. Nick's casual flirtations lure Callie into a devastating love affair, with secrets that must be kept at any cost. When Callie gets pregnant, Nick makes clear there is only one choice. And it's illegal and dangerous. Desperate not to shame her dad and torn with guilt, Callie is equally determined to hold onto the lover who has become her obsession. But the real Nick is not the man Callie thinks he is. And when his own comfy world explodes, Callie faces the most excruciating decision of her life.
