It is filled with wise counsel, biblical truth, and real-life stories—the author's own as well as those of the many single moms and dads who have come across her path over the years. You will find tips and best practices to help you improve your child's behavior, negotiate boundaries, graciously seek and accept help from others, and most important, trust God in the process.
