"Borkowski and colleagues' current text, Risk and Resilience: Adolescent Mothers and Their Children Grow Up... offers up interesting and thought-provoking questions and answers regarding what exactly happens to adolescent mothers and their children when they grow up.This is certainly a timely issue... This book would be an excellent addition to any undergraduate class on developmental psychology and would me especially welcome in graduate-level classes in psychology, sociology, and public policy." -F.
