What is the main action on Beka Lamb?

Rising action?

At the time of our meeting Beka, she is fourteen years old, and influenced a great deal - not always for the better - by her seventeen-year-old best friend Toycie Qualo. Toycie gets pregnant during her senior year of high school, which is frowned upon in their small, conservative town where the ultra-conservative church dictates the social acceptabilities of the day. She is expelled and confined to the local mental hospital, but dies after a miscarriage.
