"All teens need to read this book." -- Katherine A. Kelly, RN, BSN, CEN, Nursing Director for Emergency Services, Rideout Memorial Hospital, California "... provides a much-needed voice -- that of personal experience -- to the literature on the subject." -- School Library Journal Chosen by the New York Public Library's "Books for the Teen Age" list and hailed by The Globe and Mail for its "... frank, revealing and brave conversations," this is a must-read book for young women looking for reassurance that they are not alone. In poignant and insightful interviews, Anrenée Englander presents the voices of 10 pregnant teens as they discuss their experiences and choices around motherhood, adoption and abortion. First published to critical acclaim in 1997, this new edition updates the original interviews and includes a new introduction and a new resources section. Presenting different points of view, Dear Diary, I'm Pregnant is a nonjudgmental source of information for all teens that provides support and guidance for those who find themselves in this difficult situation. |
Anrenée Englander is interested in women's health issues, particularly as to how they affect youth. She canvassed and interviewed teenage girls throughout North America for this award-winning collection of personal testimonials. Englander currently lives in Toronto, Ontario. |

Dear Diary, I'm Pregnant is a compilation of ten interviews by Anrenée Englander after she spoke with forty young women who were faced with unplanned pregnancies and difficult choices. The author hopes that reading the stories will help other girls in similar situations realize that they are not alone, show them how others have handled the experience, and be of some help as they make the choice of abortion, adoption or parenting. The author acknowledges that each story is told from only one perspective, and that the interviewees volunteered to share their stories, so not all scenarios and outcomes are necessarily represented. The book is meant to provide support and to initiate conversations, not to endorse any specific course of action. This is a revised edition of a book first published in 1997, containing an updated resources section for both Canada and the USA, which includes names and contact information for helpful organizations, and titles of fiction and non-fiction books that deal with teen pregnancy.
