"The First Part Last", a young adult novel by Angela Johnson, deals with the subject of teen pregnancy. The story is told from Bobby's perspective, which sets it apart from most books on teen pregnancy. Bobby and Nia, the child's parents, are urban upper-middle-class African-American teenagers. This book talks about Bobby being a father at the age of 16. Bobby raises his little girl, Feather, on his own and realizes how hard it truly is to be a parent.

Bobby becomes tired all the time, and can't always get to school on time. Bobby's mother won't do any of the work unless she wants to because she wants Bobby to have a sense of what parenthood actually is.
