Description

In "Before Their Times" a young black woman, her mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother tell us in their own words of their childhood, their sex lives, their school and work lives -- and why they all became teenage mothers. Their stories form an unforgettable four-generation history illuminating the influence of one generation on another and leading to a better understanding of why the cycle of teenage pregnancy so often repeats itself in both black and white families. In his foreword the noted psychiatrist and author Robert Coles sets the book in a larger social and historical context, and in her afterword the author offers recommendations for breaking the cycle of teenage pregnancy. -- From publisher's description.
