Much of the content is applicable to parenting in general, as well as the financial advice. Thanks for commenting.

So true for single Moms! I wish this book had been around twenty years ago when I was raising my older daughter. It seems to cover a lot of the issues that single mothers deal with in their lives. Thank you for your review!

Definitely there is nothing single about a single mom. I was raised by one and I know what it means to raise children on your own. This is quite an educative novel.

What an important book for single moms. And, how refreshing that it is not focused on re-partnering but rather on coping with the difficult circumstances of raising children alone. Thanks for the great review.

There is strength and pride in being a single mom. I believe all single moms out there are doing a terrific job and should be praised. Though some need books like these to help them when they stumble along the way. Great review.
