Raising Them Alone: A Self-Assessment of One Mother's Single Parenting by Sally Becker is one woman's memoir of rearing her kids by herself.

Evansville, Ind. (PRWEB) January 17, 2008 -- Raising Them Alone: A Self-Assessment of One Mother's Single Parenting by Sally Becker shows the discovery and delight in single parenting. Using anecdotes and commentary from her adult children, Becker sheds a bright, new light on what it means to be the sole adult in a family.

Almost 20 percent of American families are led by a single parent, which most often is the mother. It's a difficult and demanding job, but the rewards are incredible. Now, single mother and author Becker chronicles her experiences in her moving memoir, Raising Them Alone: A Self-Assessment of One Mother's Single Parenting.

Becker found the positives in single parenting, and she shares her successes and comeuppances, encouraging readers to be their flexible best so their kids can be, too. Beautifully written and movingly told, Becker's book proves that any mother, even while navigating a most contentious divorce, can still guide children into becoming outstanding adults.

"A wonderful, meaningful story."- Teresa McLaughlin, single parent and executive director of Reiman Gardens, Iowa State University
