Having a baby changes everything—but it doesn't mean you have to give up your dreams. Here are firsthand accounts and words of wisdom from young women who defied the negative stereotypes about teen moms, found encouragement and support, overcame the challenges, and discovered their own paths to happiness and success. These women have ended abusive relationships and conquered addictions, coped with judgmental looks and found encouragement in surprising places. They've embarked on successful careers and found strength in the love they share for their children. These are the real experts on teenage motherhood, and in this book they offer real stories, real instight, and real inspiration.
