Angela Steckart, a short, blond young woman, walks into Espresso Royale on a Friday afternoon. With a smile giving off a laid back, confident aura, she orders a latte and sits down after a long day of class. Making small talk, she seems only vaguely interested until the pleasantries give way to her favorite subject. She beams from ear to ear conversing about her â??hysterical,â? sports-loving 2-year-old son, Callen.
To anyone passing her on the street, Steckart looks like any college student but her responsibility as a single parent sets her apart.
