Before Rory: A Gilmore Girls Prequel

From the outside, it seems as if fifteen-year-old Lorelai Gilmore has it all: a cute boyfriend, rich parents, and everything she could want.

But things aren't always as they seem.

Lorelai feels as if her opinion means nothing to her parents. Her mother, Emily, tries to control her every move while her father, Richard, does not know how to connect with her. They find fault in everything she says and does. The feelings of discontent lead Lorelai to rebel against her parents' wishes and lifestyle.

When Lorelai becomes pregnant, how will the Gilmore's react? What steps will Lorelai take to protect her child against the influence of her parents? Can Lorelai be a good mother when she is still a child herself?
