We Got This: Solo Mom Stories of Grit, Heart, and Humor - Paperback

by Marika Lindholm (Editor), Cheryl Dumesnil (Editor), Katherine Shonk (Editor)

In the United States, more than 15 million women are parenting children on their own, either by circumstance or by choice. Too often these moms who do it all have been misrepresented and maligned. Not anymore. In We Got This, seventy-five solo mom writers tell the truth about their lives--their hopes and fears, their resilience and setbacks, their embarrassments and triumphs. Some of these writers' names will sound familiar, like Amy Poehler, Anne Lamott, and Elizabeth Alexander, while others are about to become unforgettable. Bound together by their strength, pride, and--most of all-- their dedication to their children, they broadcast a universal and empowering message: You are not alone, solo moms--and your tenacity, courage, and fierce love are worthy of celebration.
