I was refreshed by Ms. Wolverton’s bold and ‘tell it like it is’ approach to helping single parents deal with the newfound or not so newfound situation of parenting alone. She gave some helpful ideas on budgeting and dealing with day-to-day issues. Some of the questions in the book I have asked myself word for word and it was refreshing to know I wasn’t the only one out there asking those questions. I appreciate the format of question and answer with it being in alphabetical order. I have gone back to certain sections often and was able to find them easier because of the way the book is formatted. The extensive section on jobs is extremely helpful and I feel is an invaluable tool in my job search. The title of her book literally illustrates how important this book is to single parents.
