I know so many people that have become single parents and are doing it solo. I even know a couple that was supposed to get married then decided to call it off (mind you, they have 3 boys together). Being a single parent cannot be an easy job, and I am glad that a book exists that can bring humor to these moms. Congrats on BOTD! :)

Being a mother is a hard enough job. Doing it alone must seem impossible. This book will definitely help solo moms see that they may be the only parent in the house, but that they are not alone. I like that dads are not portrayed badly in this book. Thanks for the great review.

This books sounds like a good read. I have had a fair share of experience of a single mom, I was raised by one and know how stereotypical the society can be towards this cause
I would really love to read this book

This book seems like a beautifully described journey of solo mom's. If nothing else, the book can teach people to have empathy for those mom's juggling it all trying to raise children. Thanks for the review!!

I think this is one of the books about single motherhood that's informative not only to single mom but to everyone about life generally. Great review

I liked the concept behind the book writing. It's a wonderful book. Encouraging solo mothers and motivating them in more than one way. Sometimes knowing someone's story similar to ours help us in passing the difficult phase. I would love to read the book. It's a great review.

Single mothers are a growing population in the present times. I feel like this book gives the reader to connect with various women who have become single mothers due to various reasons. This is an eye opening read that will definitely change the stereotypes surrounding these women. I'm definitely reading this book.

To be both the mother and father figure for your child is one of the toughest things a single mother can do. The review is well written and brings out the truth to the misconceptions surrounding single mothers.

I’m not a single mom, but I know women who were, at some point in their lives (at least one before I was even born), single moms, and I know that the negative stereotypes are not deserved. When it comes to things like that, all I can say is that you never know what’s going on in someone else’s life. I hope that this book can provide some sort of solace for the single moms who read it and encourage them to keep on doing the best that they can—heaven knows they’ve got the world on their shoulders! Thank you for the helpful review.

I can't even begin to imagine what solo moms go through every day. Kudos to everyone who participated and completed this book. The fact that you are willing to share from your personal experience to support other solo moms is truly inspirational. This sounds like a must-read. Thanks for the informative review!
