"At last, a bright light on the heretofore hidden dimension of
teenage pregnancy. Judith Musick not only illuminates the internal
psychological components of teenage pregnancy and parenting, but
brilliantly shows how they interact with external factors like
poverty, deprivation, and violence to frustrate those preventive
and ameliorative efforts that do not take them into
account."—Lisbeth B. Schorr, Director, Harvard University Project
on Effective Services and coauthor with Daniel Schorr of Within Our
Reach: Breaking the Cycle of Disadvantage and Despair
"A significant contribution to the field of adolescent sexuality
and parenting that will be read by researchers, program planners,
and teachers."—Lorraine Klerman, m.d., Yale University
