Nana Sophia
Destiny is Jared’s stepsister, Phil’s stepdaughter, and Shirley’s daughter. At the beginning of the book, 17-year-old Destiny is pregnant and living in Phil’s apartment. After she has her baby, Ben, Jared helps Destiny buy groceries, and he also helps pay his dad’s rent, knowing that if he lost the apartment, Ben and Destiny would also be homeless. Even though Destiny has a baby, she is still immature: for instance, one weekend she leaves Jared with Ben and goes to a party for the whole evening, without telling Jared where she’s going. Later, at a holiday party, she impulsively kisses Jared because he’s the only person who treats her decently. By the end of the novel, Destiny and Ben move out of Phil’s apartment and into a shelter.
