With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo

Emoni Santiago's life has been very different ever since she got pregnant freshman year. Her decisions revolve around her precious abuela and her baby girl Emma. Her one place of sanction is the kitchen where she cooks up fiery recipes to match her fiery personality.
At school, she is invited to participate in a culinary elective class to showcase and hone in on her talents. The class begins to be a bit much for her and she has to make a decision to stick it out and also learn to trust in love again.
Teens will love the realism depicted in this book. Finally a story about what happens to a teen mother after she gives birth and how young girls in her situation can still achieve their dreams!
