A blue banner hangs above the women who sit in a stuffy classroom at William McKinley School on the city's Southeastside: "You are the author of your life story."
The first chapters read the same way for most of these 20 Indianapolis women. They became pregnant, dropped out of high school and now, as single mothers, struggle to keep food on the table.
But they see the promise of a happy ending in Even Start, a federally supported program, which helps with high school equivalency tests, job searches and parenting skills.
