The Single Mother's Social Club

Providing inspirational support, advice and a lifeline for single parents no matter what their circumstances, this is a unique guide to navigating solo parenthood - from journalist, Sunday Life columnist and single mum, Jacinta Tynan. 'An intimate guide to resilience and healing.'
Juanita Phillips, author of A Pressure Cooker Saved My Life

'With strength, insight and candour, Jacinta Tynan has single-handedly shifted the stigma around single parenting and repositioned it not as a failure, but as a purposeful and optimistic life choice . . . Jacinta brings her trademark wit and heart to a handbook for all those whose lives are not necessarily broken, but a different shape of whole.' Angela Mollard, News Corp journalist

So, this isn't at all what you had in mind, or where you thought you'd end up . . . as a single parent, raising kids on your own - at least some of the time. You're battling the day-to-day grind, making life-defining decisions while helping with homework, shoelaces and Book Week costumes, all the while working and maybe even having a social life. It can be arduous, lonely and overwhelming. But it can also be liberating - not just adapting to your new normal, but wholeheartedly embracing it.

What if you saw your circumstances as an opportunity for new beginnings and a call to step up in ways you never thought possible? In The Single Mother's Social Club, journalist Jacinta Tynan interviews experts and single mothers to share the best advice for thriving when you're the only adult in the home, along with her own experiences of making it as a single mum.

You can look back and lament. Or you can join the club.
