Items related to The Amazing True Story of a Teenage Single Mom
In a form usually reserved for superheroes conquering universes, The Amazing True Story of a Teenage Single Mom tells of a young, poor mom with a simple dream: She wants to go to college. To get there, she'll need superhuman stamina, impossible good luck, a few miracles and, spurred by deep down love for her child, the ability to evade monsters, overcome abuse, and choose hope, faith, and the possibilities of her great expectations. These expectations take her from the not-so-warm embrace of her family, to a factory job, and then across the country with her daughter and a man who turns out to be a great deal less than her knight in shining armor. But that is not the end of the story. It is in the telling of this fable/memoir that we see the full scope of her courage.

Publisher's Weekly cites The Amazing True Story in an article about cartoon books 8/25/98. MS. magazine features recommendation in September/Ocotober issue. I made this book just to copy myself and take with me to GED(high school equivalency) programs, along with financial aid forms, to encourage single moms to go to college. What a great surprise it is now published and can maybe inspire many more single moms to fight for their rights to an equal access to education! Thanks for your interest.
