Slowly, slowly

 I am working on what may become my next novel. It is set in the late 1940s and the 1950s. The main character is a fifteen year old girl who gets pregnant. The father is eighteen and consent is questionable. She is sent to a home for unwed mothers, where she makes a friend, whose pregnancy will end tragically. I am also working on the main characters' parents and their backstory. I plan to introduce another family, a young couple who have an adopted son. The wife, to their surprise, became pregnant and is about to deliver another son.  One of these two children will develop polio. 

As of now, I don't have a title, which is unusual for me. And I remain unsure whether I have a story. I have written forty+ pages.
