"These raw and honest accounts from such brave and inspiring women provide an incredible depth and beauty to what a relationship with the saints can look like. They bring to light the stories of some incredible female saints and, in doing so, allow us the opportunity to see our stories in their struggles. Single mothers will not only benefit from the hope they find in these words but will take comfort in knowing the God of scripture through these stories-a God who mends our broken hearts and restores us to a life with Him by His grace." Mirette Abraham, Author of Mama I See You: Finding Glimmers of Hope in the Trenches of Motherhood "Single mothering is a road that can feel so alone and unworthy of God's Grace, but God is glorified in even his single parent Saints. In this book we find the beauty of His Grace working in and through the lives of single mothers whose lives can inspire us to keep struggling the good struggle as we navigate this journey. We are single, but never alone." - Olga Greve
