Seven single parents share their personal hopes, fears, struggles and achievements on their respective journeys through parenthood. The book focuses on the challenges they face, particularly when taking on the role of both mother and father in their children’s lives. It acknowledges the effort and energy required of them, as they make important life choices about their children’s schooling and welfare. The book is especially interesting because it documents what it means to live in an era where, unfortunately, discrimination can still exist.
