A Note To The Reader
This book is not intended to promote teen pregnancy. Rather, it is directed toward addressing the absence of practical working advice that has been so lacking for the success of the single teen-parent.
Dedications
I dedicate this book to my mother, Surnella, who has always loved me unconditionally and has always offered support and encouragement through all of my endeavors. Thank you for believing in me. You have always been and will always be the best person I know.
I also dedicate this book to my little sister, Erin, whose positive spirit and perseverance inspired me to address this topic.

Chapter I - Approaching Your New Life With No Fear
I come to you as a sister, and a friend, to offer advice from my experience as a mother. My own knowledge is incomplete, as my children are still young, but I have benefited much from the examples provided to me by my own mother and other influential women in my life.
