In her new book Professor, May I Bring My Baby to Class? author Sherrill W. Mosee inspires the reader to take control of her destiny by completing her education and guides her through the process. She includes compelling stories written by mothers who accepted the challenges of going to college while caring for a young child, in spite of the odds stacked against them. These women open up about their challenges of homelessness, incarceration, domestic abuse, and poverty—the very issues that may deter a young mother from going to college.

- Choose a college that's right for you
- Find the best child care—and how to pay for it
- Balance school, work, and a baby and still have time for yourself
- Engage your child in your educational experience
