One of the world's greatest mission fields is often in the pew each Sunday morning--the single-parent family. With a population of more than 12.5 million, this group is looking for the encouragement and hope that veteran single parents, such as author Sandra Aldrich, can offer. Sandra presents practical advice, personal experiences, encouraging anecdotes, and the occasional chuckle in her popular conversational style. Each chapter begins with appropriate Scripture and ends with a question for personal reflection or group discussion. Sandra succeeds in setting the record straight that single-parent homes are not "broken homes."
