520    In 2013, New York City launched a public education 
       campaign with posters of frowning or crying children 
       saying such things as "I'm twice as likely not to graduate
       high school because you had me as a teen" and "Honestly, 
       Mom, chances are he won't stay with you." Campaigns like 
       this support a public narrative that portrays teen mothers
       as threatening the moral order, bankrupting state coffers,
       and causing high rates of poverty, incarceration, and 
       school dropout. These efforts demonize teen mothers but 
       tell us nothing about their lives before they became 
       pregnant. In this myth-shattering book, the authors tell 
       the life stories of 108 brown, white, and black teen 
       mothers, exposing the problems in their lives often 
       overlooked in pregnancy prevention campaigns. Some stories
       are tragic and painful, marked by sexual abuse, partner 
       violence, and school failure. Others depict "girl next 
       door" characters whose unintended pregnancies lay bare 
       insidious gender disparities. Offering a fresh perspective
       on the links between teen births and social inequalities, 
       this book demonstrates how the intersecting hierarchies of
       gender, race, and class shape the biographies of young 
       mothers
