Book Description

October 1991
Sandra Aldrich knows what it takes to survive as a single mother today. With heartfelt and genuine words, she shares her experiences and answers such questions as: How will I handle the loneliness? Pay bills with one income? Guide my daughter or son through their growing years? Find the right kind of housing? Deal with dating again? Battle my relatives' expectations? Sandra's practical and spiritually uplifting message is simple: Single mom, you and your children do have bright tomorrows. And they can start today if you will lean on the Lord and ask Him for the strength you need.

5.0 out of 5 stars From One Single Mother to Another (or simply Mom to Mom), May 8, 2000
This review is from: From One Single Mother to Another: Advice and Encouragement from Someone Who's Been There (Paperback)
From One Single Mother to Another is written by Sandra P. Aldrich. In the short space of thirteen chapters she describes from the sudden death of her husband up to her children being grown the trials and joys of Christian single parenting. Her writing is down to earth and full of wit and wisom acquired only through experience. It is written one to one. It is written for the single parent, not for an organization. It's intent is to encourage single parents that the task is possible. One thing she taught her children that stood out to me, another single parent, is this: Single parent families are still a family. They are just smaller by the loss of a parent. She also states her pet peeve, that single parent families are "broken homes". She knows from experience that with God's help and lots of personal effort our homes are healed. As a single parent of many years I say a hearty Thank You! to Ms. Aldrich for her frank, compassionate, and sometimes humerous advice for single parents.

5.0 out of 5 stars A warm, intimate book, December 20, 2004

This review is from: From One Single Mother to Another: Advice and Encouragement from Someone Who's Been There (Paperback)
From One Single Mother To Another is a warm, intimate book that begs to be read by every single mother out there. It's no coincidence that the cover features two tea cups since Sandra's style is very much that of two friends chatting over afternoon tea.

I appreciate Sandra's open style, her vulnerability, and her practicality. There is so much spiritual wisdom packed into this book. Whether you are a raising your children on your own due to death, divorce, or some other life choice, this book can help you sort through the issues from parenting to finances, and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Help From Someone Who Is Farther Along, February 28, 2009
I have days when I really get frustrated, when I'm losing it, when I wonder if I'll ever have what it takes to be a good mom! Plus, I have to be the dad around here, too! Sometimes it's all too much.

I enjoyed reading this book because the author is older and has been through a lot more life experiences than I have. She has survived her traumas and come through it with joy and wisdom. I admire that.

One thing to be aware of: This author is a widow, not divorced. Her experience with being a single parent followed the death of her husband, not being abandoned through divorce. Parenting is still parenting, but be aware that her experience is about widowhood.

This wise woman has a lot to share with all of us, and it's good.
