Beschreibung:
This poignant and humorous anthology includes inspirational essays, poems, and quotes that honor the diverse experiences of solo moms, reminding them that they are powerful and rooted in a community of women who understand what they are going through—and reframing solo motherhood from a position of stigma and weakness to one of empowerment and positivity.
In the United States, more than 15 million women are parenting children on their own, either by circumstance or by choice. Too often these moms who do it all have been misrepresented and maligned. Not anymore. InWe Got This, seventy-five solo mom writers tell the truth about their lives—their hopes and fears, their resilience and setbacks, their embarrassments and triumphs. Some of these writers’ names will sound familiar, like Amy Poehler, Anne Lamott, and Elizabeth Alexander, while others are about to become unforgettable. Bound together by their strength, pride, and—most of all— their dedication to their children, they broadcast a universal and empowering message: You are not alone, solo moms—and your tenacity, courage, and fierce love are worthy of celebration.
