Praise for Hope . . . Joy (and a Few Little THOUGHTS)™ for Pregnant Teens
Consciously Creating Your Legacy
 “If this book had existed when I was a pregnant teenager, I might have learned much earlier from Rachel Brignoni what a whole lot of hard knocks hammered into me: It's not what happens to you that matters so much as how you think about it. Having a child as a very young woman is a tragedy or a blessing. You get to decide--and you get to hold the reigns of your life. Reading this book will help you learn how.”
- Beverly Donofrio,
Best-selling Author of Riding in Cars with Boys and
Former Pregnant Teen
 "Being a pregnant teen is very difficult. I know, I was one. There are the emotions of fear, anxiety, embarrassment to name a few that come to you during this time. You need to look within yourself. It is important for you to be steadfast, strong and positive. It is also important to have the support of loved ones. Reading this book can provide the tools and positive advice to give you the strength and encouragement to get you through this trying time. After reading the book, pick it up from time to time. It will help to keep you on the right track..."
