Product Description

Chauffeur. Chef. Referee. Confidante. Provider. As a single mother, you balance these roles and dozens more every day-so take a break with A Cup of Comfort for Single Mothers.

In this empowering and bittersweet collection, you will meet single mothers who have created an unbreakable bond with their sons and daughters. From a woman who never misses one of her son's games-despite being the only single mother in the stands-to a new single mom whose three-year-old daughter provides comedic relief after a less-than ideal first date, these women will inspire and encourage you.

It's never easy to raise children alone. But in this heartwarming volume, you'll find inspiration and joy in the stories of fifty amazing women just like you-parenting on their own and doing it exceptionally well.

If you've been a single mom, you know how your days go. Some days you laugh, some you cry, and some you just need support. These stories are all that and more. The women who contribute this stories have been there or ARE there, coping, living, loving their children, learning to love themselves. I enjoyed this book. I planned to read a story each night and keep it on my nightstand, but once I started, I carried it around with me all day. I read it at the doctor's, in the car, while making dinner, and by the end of the day, I was finished and wishing there were more stories.

This was certainly not as good as some of the other editions. I was disappointed that often, I couldn't find the upbeat moment.... or the certain something that would allow me to empathize with the writer.
