Books by Bonnie J. Ross Leadbeater

Examines the lives of inner-city adolescent mothers and their diverse pathways to early adulthood. Their varied responses to becoming parents reflect a range of abilities, aspirations and supports but, the authors argue, most have the skills and desires to care for themselves and their children.

At once a scholarly research monograph and an accessible glimpse into the lives of inner-city adolescents mothers, this book will appeal to developmental and social psychologists, family studies scholars, sociologists, and policy makers
