“This type of honesty comes straight from the heart. Teen pregnancy doesn't end lives. There are options and support out there. Having known Joi since kindergarten, I never knew any of this. I saw was she wanted others to see. I was that lost 16 year old too. Pregnant, scared, in need of support. And knowing what I went through wasn't in vain 19 years later, makes all the pain and struggle worth it. Knowing stories like mine and Joi's matter and make a difference makes the world look brighter.”

“This book is so amazing! This book will inspire not only inspire mothers and women, but it will inspire anyone who needs it! I enjoyed every bit of this book from the beginning to the end. The needing brought tears to my eyes, I can honestly say that it has fueled me to keep moving forward as a mother myself. I won’t spoil it for you but just know this woman of God has a story to tell it and you need to read about it!”

“This young woman's inspirational written journey through the trials of young, unexpected pregnancy and her personal triumphs should be read by social workers, counselors, all young women, and everyone else who simply needs to feel better about the young people to whom our society's future will be entrusted.”

“The book was amazing. I felt like I was standing right in front of the author listening to her story. You will definitely not be able to book the down once you start reading it. One of my most memorable quotes in the book was “If I got through it you can too” this definitely resonates with me. It’s hope for the hopeless!”
