Description: "How did two troublemaking kids from the trailer park make it through the storm of family dysfunction, teen pregnancy, and adoption without letting go of each other? What gave them the strength to conquer the chaos of their lives and go on to become people their children could be proud of? And what really happened when the [16 and pregnant and Teen mom] cameras weren't there?"--Amazon.com.

Lowell and Baltierra shared their story of teen pregnancy and adoption on the reality television shows 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom. Against all odds, the childhood sweethearts rose above the dysfunction to become responsible adults whose story has inspired many others. In their own words they lay it all out on the table and discuss how they beat the odds and used their victories to give hope to others.
