Millie Acevedo bore her first child before the age of 16 and
dropped out of high school to care for her newborn. Now 27, she is
the unmarried mother of three and is raising her kids in one of
Philadelphia's poorest neighborhoods. Would she and her children be
better off if she had waited to have them and had married their
father first? Why do so many poor American youth like Millie
continue to have children before they can afford to take care of
them?
Over a span of five years, sociologists Kathryn Edin and Maria
Kefalas talked in-depth with 162 low-income single moms like Millie
to learn how they think about marriage and family. "Promises I Can
Keep "offers an intimate look at what marriage and motherhood mean
to these women and provides the most extensive on-the-ground study
to date of why they put children before marriage despite the
daunting challenges they know lie ahead.
