Dr. Christine Stroble's 7-Year Publishing Journey
Forthcoming 2025!
Forthcoming 2025!
In 2022, there were approximately 4.15 million Black families in the U.S. with a single mother. Black single mothers, especially teenage and low-income mothers, are often blamed for the problems in the Black family and society. Yet single mothers are the ones providing for their children - not abandoning them. So, what's going on?
In ten short chapters, Love For Black Single Moms will inform and enlighten you about the real issues and equip you with the tools and knowledge to take control of your life.
If you have ever felt like you are the problem, are overwhelmed trying to do it all, frustrated by the challenges of single parenting, and uncertain about your future, Christine M. Stroble has your back.
With the knowledge you gain from reading Love For Black Single Moms, you will know that you have rights and that you are enough. You will know how to heal your emotional wounds, show up for yourself, and parent your children in a way that puts an end to the generational cycle in your family.
Forthcoming 2025!

Helping Teen Moms Graduate, Strategies for Families, Schools, and Community Organizations,
2023 PenCraft Book Award Winner!
2024 Nautilus Book Award Winner!
is a much-needed resource for families, schools, and community organizations who support pregnant and parenting students as they strive to complete their education.
With the national public school high school graduation rate at 87% and the teen birth rate at an all-time low, it's easy to overlook pregnant and parenting students, but the graduation progress doesn't ring true for this student population.
Currently, the CDC reports that there were 143,789 live births to teens ages 15-19 in 2022 and that only 50% of pregnant and parenting students will earn a high school diploma and only 3% will earn a college degree by age 30. Helping Teen Moms Graduate: Strategies for Families, Schools, and Community Organization offers strategies to help more pregnant and parenting students graduate.

Endorsements
"Becoming pregnant or a parent does not need to derail a student’s education. Helping Teen Moms Graduate expertly highlights the unique barriers and discrimination pregnant and parenting teens face without further stigmatizing this population. By centering their voices, Dr. Stroble provides a much-needed roadmap for advocates, teachers, and other trusted community members to help pregnant and parenting teens thrive in school."
Cassandra Mensah, Counsel at the National Women’s Law Center
"Written with a great deal of grace and insights, Helping Teen Moms Graduate provides rich narratives and helpful strategies for educators of teen mothers. This is a useful text and it should be explored without judgment, but instead, with care and openness. It helps to address a lesser explored issue in secondary education."
Greg Wiggan, Professor of Urban Education, University of North Carolina at Charlotte
"In order to help teen moms graduate, we don’t need more statistics and simplistic how-to guides or checklists; we need to listen to the voices and experiences of teen moms themselves. Dr. Stroble does an expert job of elevating the voices of teen moms woven between statistics, evidence-based programs, and real solutions to helping teen moms graduate. If you really want to know how to support a teen mom, you’ve got the right book in your hands and I suggest you start with her first suggestion: Don’t Judge."
Amanda Moon Callahan, MA, Director of Prevention & Outreach, Safe Harbor
