Summary

"Keepin' On: The Everyday Struggles of Young Families in Poverty takes readers on a journey into the lives of nine young African American mothers facing issues related to single parenthood and poverty. What are their strengths and challenges as parents? How are their families affected by frequent transitions from homes, jobs, and significant others? What can professionals learn from their stories? Enhanced with expert commentary on research, practice, and policy, this book gives readers a deeper understanding of the factors that affect intervention with families in poverty."--Jacket.
