Rating: Summary: IF YOU ARE A SINGLE MOTHER, YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK Review: Carla J. Curtis keeps it simple and real in A Single Woman's Parenting Journey: Survival Tidbits. She breaks down all the joy and aggravation involved in raising children in today's corrupted society alone. She does this through motivational concepts, religious thought, and prayer. While merely a hundred pages, it contains a treasury of information and is extremely reader friendly. Easily readable in the space of an afternoon, any single mother that passes on it is truly losing out. It is refreshing to know that I am not alone in my single parenting journey. Then again, I already knew it because I see single mothers all the time and know a ton of them. But it is not often, if ever, that we actually take the time out to sit down and discuss the trials of raising our children alone. That is what this books does. It opens up the discussion gates to do just that. What a wonderful concept. Reviewed by Zane

Rating: Summary: Very encouraging! Review: I appreciate how Carla Curtis includes scriptures for encouragement and has taken the time to research the topic to reach her target audience. A Single Woman's Parenting Journey is in a simple to read format that can easily be incorporated in the single woman's day. Chapter 3: Set Your Goals and chapter 4: Love and Pamper Yourself are crucial in any woman's life, yet more so in the life of a single female parent. Re-enforcing goal setting and supporting self-pampering are important "survival tidbits"! I recommend reading these chapters first if you feel lost in a career or over-worked. A great close to this book are the sample prayers which target specific areas which effect single female parents. This is a great addition to a single female parent's library! -LC
