Dr. Ford is passionate about advocating and helping underdogs and marginalized populations. Her goal is to use her writing and future books to inspire those teen mothers who are often feeling let down and to educate and inspire those who are unaware of the emotional turmoil these young mothers are experiencing. This is Dr. Fords first book, and it provides a personal view of the lived experiences by adolescent mothers as they endured the transition of being a teenager to becoming a mother. Dr. Ford hopes this book will enlighten the professionals who work with teen mothers to further the understanding of their trials and tribulations, their emotionality, and how this affects their mind-setssometimes permanently. With this knowledge, those in the position to assist or help a teen mother would have greater insight into the teens mental state to help. The insights in this book offer the ability to improve the young mothers mental and emotional states of being and help them avoid the negativity and harmful mental and psychological pressure of being a teen mother.
