Summary: 5 Stars
Life sometimes does not turn out the way we expect it too. Sometimes, we are thrown for a loop with no where to turn. Who plans after vowing "I DO" and having a couple of "blessed events" to be alone raising children? Who plans on holding the hand of their child while their spouse is lowered into a grave? Who believes that of the 50% of marriages that end in divorce, theirs would be among the statistic?
No one expects the worse. But when the worse happens, it's great to have someone who has been there, show you the way. Not someone who gives you advice they overheard someone say or fish a random verse from the Bible, but someone who has walked the journey you yourself are now embarking.
In some circles, Angela Thomas had it all: a husband, four beautiful children, and a successful speaking and writing career. She wrote books encouraging women to seek the beauty and wrote prayers for the expectant mother and new mom. I can imagine she never imagined she'd write a book about herself titled, My Single Mom Life: Stories and Practical Lessons for Your Journey. What was made for her bad was certainly turned around for every reader's good.
Angela speaks candidly about her single mom life. She takes the reader's hand encouraging single moms to cry, to mourn their lost, but afterward find the courage to begin again accepting their single mom life and be willing to raise their children in a positive new life.
What made this book so compelling is Angela retold her story as if she was writing to her best friend. She didn't offer textbook answers but genuine, heartfelt advice. Readers may find some of her advice hard to read. But isn't that the real role of a girlfriend? To let you know with love where improvements can be made?
If you think you will never be a single mom and I pray you never have to go through life alone, pick up a copy for your girlfriend. But do her a favor before you gift it to her by reading it yourself. You may find a perspective on single motherhood you may have not known before. You may develop empathy where there was apathy. And God forbid, you may just build an ark before your own personal storm hits.
