The First Part Last Audiobook (Free)

Bobby is an average urban NEW YORK teenager–impulsive, willing, restless. For his sixteenth birthday he cuts school with his two greatest buddies, grabs several slices at his favourite pizza joint, catches a flick at a close by multiplex, and gets some information from his sweetheart, Nia, that adjustments his life forever: He’ll be a dad. Suddenly things such as school and house parties and fun situations with close friends are replaced by visits to Nia’s pediatrician and countless social employees who all about The First Part Last state that the only path for Nia and Bobby to lead a normal life is to put their baby up for adoption. After that tragedy hits Nia, and Bobby discovers himself in the role of one, teenage father. Because his child–their child–is everything that remains of his dropped love.

With powerful vocabulary and keen insight, Johnson tells the storyplot of a young man’s battle to figure out what the “right thing” is and to accomplish it.
