Life lessons from single mothers throughout history form the
inspiration for single mothers today. Single moms are not just a
product of our modern culture. There have been single mothers
throughout history, women who have raised not only their children
but also nations with a higher vision for life. Holding Her Head
High recounts stories of twelve such women from the third to the
twenty-first centuries, women who found ways to twist their fates
to represent God's destiny for their lives. These uniquely
powerful, brave women, within the scope of their own world and
times, are like the ninety-nine percent of single mothers today who
never intended to carry that distinction. They are abandoned,
widowed, or divorced, all carrying wounds, yet they also all found
ways to exhibit courage, kindness, dignity, and faith to heal
themselves by healing others. Actress Janine Turner, herself a
single mother, describes the social implications for women and
children from the Roman Empire through the Middle Ages to Pioneer
days, including a single mother of slavery. Stories from women like
Rachel Lavein Fawcett, abandoned single mother of Alexander
Hamilton; Abagail Adams, a wartime widow; Harriet Jacobs, an unwed
mother of slavery whose autobiography was published the year the
Civil War began; and widowed Belva Lockwood, the first woman to
officially run for President, all carrying wounds but all offering
insight, wisdom, and encouragement. Lessons include: Listen for
God's higher calling Hold your head high Dare to dream Champion
your children Heal with humor Don't Give Up Before the Miracle
