I gave this book to my soon-to-be daughter-in-law who is now carrying my first grandchild. It is an excellent resource and it was a good way for us to find common ground.

The title of this book is so apropos.There are babies having babies before they've even had a life. My heart goes out to them and I wish every girl "caught" in this situation could get their hands on this book. I also wish this book had been around when my own daughter was one of them. Tricia Goyer has drawn richly on personal experience and that of other teens facing the reality of becoming a mother, knowing their carefree youth is gone forever. Goyer writes with compassion, offering hope, tips and tricks to get through the difficult times and situations that these very young mothers are totally unequipped and unprepared to handle. I applaud the decision these girls make to have and keep their baby. It is a very brave choice they have made. And if there is even the remotest chance I can do so, this book will be my gift of hope and promise to them. Well done, Tricia!

The insight in this book lies not only in what it says, but in the style--readable--bits of information connected by the strand of young motherhood. The honor and hope represented in these pages for younger mothers is priceless. Encouragement is abounding in these pages, along with the truth of how difficult this situation can be. Tricia Goyer writes with a compassion of one who knows first hand.
