5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful book, great author,
By Avid reader (Montreal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Courage To Be A Single Mother (Paperback)
I read this book a few years ago, not too long after my own separation and divorce. It inspired me and I also had a chance to be a member on the forum that Sheila had for single moms at the time. She asked for volunteers to be interviewed for her second book "The courage to love again". Of course I offered and she called me at home to interview me! What a thrill! I had a chance to speak with her personally and share some of my own experiences. Not too long after that, she mailed me a copy of her newly published book, signed. She is as wonderful in real life and she is in the words of her books!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!,
By "tmf26" (Rochester Hills, MI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Courage to Be a Single Mother: Becoming Whole Again After Divorce (Hardcover)
This book helped me get through my own divorce experience and realize the things I was going through (fear, frustration, uncertainty, numbness...), others had also gone through; and made it! The book offers an uncomplicated look at the process of healing after one's dreams are forever changed, and offers hope for a fine future after the trauma of a divorce. I would recommend this book to anyone seriously contemplating, in the midst of, or having survived the divorce process.
