Summary:
Pregnant during her senior year in high school, it was through her experiences fighting for resources to put herself through college that she founded Generation Hope, to provide support for teen parents and their children so they can create a two-generation solution to poverty. Along with her own story as a young Black mother, Lewis weaves in those of the men and women she's worked with to share a new perspective on how poverty, classism, and systemic racism impact teen pregnancy and on how effective programs and equitable policies can help teen parents earn college degrees, have increased opportunity, and create a legacy of educational and career achievements in their families. Lewis presents the possibility of a different future for young mothers-- one of success and stability-- in the midst of the dismal statistics that dominate the national conversation. -- adapted from jacket
