Product Description
From Amazon
At last, a comprehensive and practical guide for the single parent, filled with expert information and pragmatic advice. Today's world is rapidly changing -- and so is the family. Focusing on how to raise good kids in stressful times, this book offers solutions for tough problems: helping your children through your divorce, building their self-esteem, finding male role models, and responding to questions like, "Where's Daddy?" The Complete Single Mother explains what nearly eleven million single mothers need to know to meet the challenges of daily life with dignity, wisdom, courage, and a dash of good humor.

From Publishers Weekly
The authors are single mothers whose state was unexpectedly thrust upon them by departing partners. Engber, founder of the National Organization of Single Mothers, is a contributing editor to Working Mother; Klungness, a psychologist, specializes in issues of single mothers. Together they have produced a frank and unabashedly feminist guide, the tone of which reflects the popular What to Expect series. No topic is off limits: there are tips on how not to fall to pieces when the baby starts saying "da-da" and even what to do when teenagers start worrying that mom will be old maid. Finances are approached in the chapter "Money Matters"; custody sharing, dealing with former in-laws and dating are considered in the section "Relating Joyfully to Others," which also includes the chapter "The Ex from Hell." There is an entire and encouraging chapter on raising sons. Breezy but always down-to-earth, this guide provides intelligent and frequently entertaining reading and offers much to mothers without-and with-partners.

Excellent book for never-married single mothers,
By mother of 7 month old son (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Single Mother: Reassuring Answers to Your Most Challenging Concerns (Paperback)
When I was pregnant I read a lot of books for single mothers and learned so many out there are for divorced mothers where the father is largely in the picture.This is the best book I found for single, never-married mothers where the father does not play a large role, if any. There is a chapter for divorced mothers, adoption, donor insemination, and widowed mothers. And many other chapters for all single mothers. There is a wonderful chapter to help explain where their father is. Which I am sure will come in handy in a few years when my son wants to know why his father is not around. I have loaned this book out to other single mothers and recommend it to all single mothers.

A Must Read for all single moms!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Single Mother: Reassuring Answers to Your Most Challenging Concerns (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book for all single moms. I am in a single moms group and anytime a new mom joins us I recommend this book. It touches on so many of the important topics that single moms face. I just can not say enough how important this book was to me when I first found myself as a single mom! This is probably one of the best single parent books out there!
