5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful and inspirational resource for single Moms., August 3, 1998

This review is from: Single Mamahood: Advice and Wisdom for the African-American Single Mother (Paperback)

This book is packed with nuggets. Although some are sort of buried in the stories, this Mama told the truth without the sugar and spice to make it all nice.

Kelly Williams gave sound advice for mothers of daughters and sons of all ages and races. This book is not to be read like a novel. Single Moms should tuck the little angels in for the night, snuggle up to this good book, and STUDY it.

The most important chapter is near the end, Spirituality. Read this first!

This review is from: Single Mamahood: Advice and Wisdom for the African-American Single Mother (Paperback)

The information in this book gives single moms something to sink their teeth into and something to hold onto. Kelly Williams understands. She's written this book in a helpful but straightforward style. I had the pleasure of interviewing Ms. Williams and SINGLEMamahood is the result of a genuine desire by the author, to give women some positive information regarding their experience as single mothers. If you're a single mom (or know one), READ THIS BOOK. It's talking to YOU!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-read for ALL single parents and grandparents alike., October 26, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Single Mamahood: Advice and Wisdom for the African-American Single Mother (Paperback)

Truthful, insightful, educational and at times very funny. I laughed, I cried, I related - but most importantly, I learned that I am not alone in my single-parenting struggles. You'll see yourself, your friends (and your mom) throughout the book. Hint - Don't read it like a novel - but rather, bounce around from chapter to chapter to the stories you most identify with. I can't wait for the sequel!
