What do you do when 'til death do us part' comes much earlier than anticipated? I have written this book to share my story-a dream that was not to be had. I fell in love, had children, worked on my marriage, and settled in for the long haul; knowing we could get through anything together. Then life through us a curve ball, and the unimaginable happened. Life will have its trials and challenges, trauma and pain. You cannot let it paralyze you. In Instant Single Mom: This Was Not The Dream, I share my personal story of finding love, lessons I have learned along the way, and how I have been able overcome through tough times. Any mother can find herself as an instant single mom-through divorce, deployment of a partner or spouse, separation, or in my case, death. Instant Single Mom will help those thinking about marriage and becoming a parent, newlyweds, military wives, widowers, or divorcees to cope with the uncertainty of life's transitions in order to live on purpose and thrive!
