Single motherhood and the children of single mothers have been the
subject of overwhelmingly negative statistical analysis. Male
children raised in single parent homes perform less well in school
and have more trouble with the law; girls raised in single-parent
homes more frequently get pregnant in their teens and often have
problems bonding emotionally with men. But, Marita Golden asks in
her inspiring new book, where is the complementary data? Where are
the studies that analyze single-parent families for the strengths
of the mothers, the positive coping and adaptive skills learned by
the children, the support systems that help these families work?
"A Miracle Every Day" offers a close-up on the faces that
inhabit the positive side of the numbers game, the people who defy
the stereotypes. A collection of inspirational anecdotes, this
uplifting book sends a positive message to single mothers and all
those who have cast such a negative eye on them for so long. What
Girlfriends did for friendship, Marita Golden does for flourishing
single-mother families in "A Miracle Every Day", gathering these
families' stories from her interviews and identifying the major
internal and external resources they share. In so doing, she
bestows a sense of self-esteem and confidence to her reader-mothers
who often internalize the negative attitudes and prejudices of a
society that barely gives them a chance.
