At once a scholarly research monograph and an accessible glimpse into the lives of inner-city adolescents mothers, this book will appeal to developmental and social psychologists, family studies scholars, sociologists, and policy makers
In this book the authors examine in depth the lives of inner-city adolescent mothers, going beyond stereotypes to illuminate the diverse pathways to young adulthood taken by these young women.
"The authors consider the various pathways to adulthood that these young women traverse, the diversity of their solutions to the problems of parenting in poverty, the strengths of their aspirations for the future, and the depths of their desires to improve their lives and the lives of their children. The result is a fascinating study of human resilience that will soon be recognized for its contribution to individuals involved in program development and policymaking with teenage parenting....Highly recommended for all psychology and sociology collections."—CHOICE
