The Courage To Be A Single Mother

Becoming Whole Again After Divorce

Addressing an unfortunately common situation, this unique book guides newly divorced mothers through the paralysing doubt, guilt, fear, and anger to the practical rebuilding of their lives. Refreshingly real and honest, Sheila Ellison uses the journey through her own devastating divorce from a professional athlete, as well as stories told by dozens of others, to empower women struggling to combine the realities of divorce with the pressing demand of child-rearing. Though filled with practical, reassuring advice on single parenting in the modern world, this is much more than a book on coping - it is an invaluable guide for women to discover the strength they never knew they had to nurture their children, resurrect their spirits, and ultimately create the life they want.
