Far from being a guide or an instruction manual, my book is a perspective on motherhood in which you can see yourself reflected and perhaps improve your decisions, perspectives, and contributions to your child.

You'll find common experiences after a divorce: moving, the arrival of a new partner and their children, and the judgments and implications of these, rewarded efforts, your child's chosen sports being incompatible with your partner's, issues of adolescence and trust, until the arrival of that moment when you hear that expected but unwelcome phrase, "Mom, I want to live alone!"
