Imagine being in your earliest teenage years and expecting your first child. The gripping fear of telling your parents, judgment from your peers, and uncertainty about your future entrap you. Being a first-time mother already has a weighted worry, but being a first-time mother as a young girl is petrifying.
Against All Odds: From Teenage Mother to Boss Lady is a collection of accounts from ten women about their frightening, yet incredible, journeys of beating the odds of being teenage mothers. Their stories detail the journey of molestation, sex addiction, two-time teen pregnancies, abortions, tragedy, poverty, seeking love, and living in drug-invested homes. Although these women experienced harsh environments, they transformed their lives and became bosses.
These women overcame the daunting statistics of being teenage mothers, which presumes that one’s life is over once becoming a teenage mother. These powerful women demonstrate that being a teenage mother may be a stumbling block but is not a life sentence. Teenage mothers can persevere despite the odds. These women fought against abandonment, rejection, low self-esteem, guilt, loneliness, and failure and are now living full lives as entrepreneurs, doctors, lawyers, and non-profit leaders. They did not allow their circumstances to destroy them and equipped their children to boss up by breaking generational curses and creating legacies. Now they are reaching back to share with others exactly how they transitioned from teenage moms to boss ladies.
Against All Odds provides honesty, hope, encouragement, wisdom, and transformation for teens and young mothers struggling with motherhood. It sends the message that you can make it through any situation, no matter where you started; and that you have the power to choose in the face of adversity.
Teenage pregnancy stories have never been told like this before. They gave you the real, raw truth and the power to overcome. When you read this book, you will not want to put it down.
