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.
