[.ca] The Single Parent Resource: An A to Z Guide for the ... (ISBN 1932783253)

From Amazon.com:
It's no news that being a single parent is not an easy row to hoe, especially not to the 13 million individuals in the United States who currently find themselves in that role. What is news is that there is now a book that offers real assistance on a variety of pertinent issues. There are chapters on communication and house rules, family dinners and quality time, job burnout and business trips, realistic budgets and how to have a social life while still providing responsible, loving parenting. With scads of quotes from single parents on their frustrations, solutions, and general experiences, it's a support group in text form. It's full of advice, which means there's lots that will be helpful and pertain to your specific predicaments, and plenty you'll pass right over as not applicable to you. And it's a resource book, addressing the concerns expressed by the over 500 single parents Noel surveyed, with hundreds of topics and tips, as well as references for further support. --Stephanie Gold

The Single Parent Resource:
The Single Parent Resource is one of the most practical and comprehensive guides available today. With an easy to navigate table of contents, the book lends itself as a ready reference guide. As a single parent, I was impressed with the amount of information packed into it. It covers many of the issues that I have encountered and provides solutions that work. Single parenting is not easy but Brook Noel's book gives me more tools to deal with real life, day to day challenges. Thank you for giving me this help.

Helpful, supportive and practical resource guide:
The author, Brooke Noel, was raised in a single parent home so she understands from firsthand experience the type of trials and support needed by single parents. The book covers the top concerns problems and challenges facing the single parent based upon a survey of 500 single parents: Household management (cooking, cleaning, chores, etc.), balancing work and family, finances, childcare, emotional health for children and parents, and much more. Although I'm not personally a single parent, I found the guide helpful for any busy parent. Many of the categories and tips are applicable to anyone. I just wish Amazon.com didn't offer this book by special order only---it's definitely the type of resource single parents need to get into their hands right away.
