A Miracle Every Day:
Triumph and Transformation in the Lives of Single Mothers
 |
|
A Miracle Every Day Triumph and Transformation in the Lives of Single Mothers takes an illuminating and intimate look at flourishing single-mother families. Single motherhood and the children of single mothers have been the subject of overwhelmingly negative statistical analysis. But, asks Marita Golden, where are the studies that analyze the strengths of single mothers, the positive adaptive skills learned by their children, the support systems that help these families work?
In A Miracle Every Day, Golden, once a single mother herself, and several other single mothers and their family members share their success stories with great honesty and insight. Golden identifies them into guiding themes, making A Miracle Every Day a book that single mothers and their support networks can turn to for wisdom, comfort, and inspiration.
Praise for A Miracle Every Day:
"Having been a single mother for many years, I know what is required. I know that loneliness and the challenges. I like to think I would have reached for a book like this, if one had been available. All women who raise children alone need to know they can do it and they need to remember that others before them did it also. Let this book be their reminder."
—Patrice Gaines, Author of Laughing in the Dark
"Lyrical, passionate, and authentic, A Miracle Every Day directs our attention to remarkable blossoms and oaks growing in the rocky soil of single parenting. It is a book of celebration in which we hear single mothers testifying-but never boasting-about the miraculous hands they placed on daughters, sons and themselves. Ah! Yes! Finally! The silenced truth! A must-read experience that instructs, and then transforms."
