For all the books on pregnancy, preparing for parenthood and what to expect postpartum, very few touch on what happens when you're faced with going it alone. Mothering on Our Own is a raw and honest collection of 30 stories from single and solo mothers.
Whether by circumstance or choice, solo and single parenting is a long – and often isolating – road, but there is so much wisdom to be learned from others.
From managing co-parenting to juggling work and caring for children, escaping abusive relationships, overcoming societal stigmas to finding community and a working out who you are on your own, these stories encapsulate the resilience, courage, boundless love and unwavering spirit of mums.
Rachel Maksimovic is a proud solo mum and the host of the popular podcast Mothering on My Own. Rachel has been a solo mum since she was 20 weeks pregnant and is passionate about creating a community for other solo and single mothers where they feel heard, supported and less alone. She decided to share her own journey in this spirit of helping others and the podcast hosts parenting experts and shares stories of single and solo mums on a range of topics from finances, childcare arrangements, work–life balance, finding love again and how to build a true community.
