I think it's an inspiring and helpful book. There's a lot to learn from all those women. I'm sure it's worth reading and inspiring not only to solo moms, but to everyone.

Sounds like an inspiring read that, for once, doesn't raise one side while brow beating the other. Thanks for the review.

Single moms are superheroes. This seems like a great book of inspiring real stories for other moms creating their own inspiring stories!

Being a single mom is a really tough job. My dad passed away when I was 9 years old. Ever since my mom has worked so hard to give me and my brother the life that we wanted. She is my biggest inspiration and I want be strong, just like her. This book seems to celebrate these young mothers who put their own lives behind to give their child the best life. I can't wait to read the book. Thank you for the review.

Solo moms as the author have referred to them are always finding it hard to put up with a society that demean them. It was a good idea that the author chose to pen down a book whose main aim is to encourage all solo moms out there with the stories of several others who have gone through something similar and understand what they might be going through. This was an engaging review. Congratulations to the author on BOTD.

Wow, that sounds great. I was raised by a solo mom so this will probably resonate with me. I like that you say it avoids stereotyping on both sides - most solo moms have grit and work hard, and not every absent dad is a low-life.

I believe in the importance of writing and reading others' experiences. I think what you mention in your review is really amazing. The fact that a book can make us be more sympathetic towards someone, in this case, solo moms. Thanks for your review.
