It was too much too soon. For âLori,â lifeâs milestones came early and were overwhelming. She didnât make it beyond high school before giving birth to two daughters, and has struggled to just keep up. Even basic needs felt beyond her control, she said. Two decades later, the girls are grown, one in her 20s and on her own, and another, who attended Walden Grove High School, is about to be. After living in Phoenix, then for a time back East, Lori â not her real name â returned to Arizona four years ago, this time to Sahuarita, and is job-searching in Tucson. This time, with a GED.
