The Single Mom's Workplace Survival Guide by Brenda Armstrong (published by Vine Books, 2002) Purchase Now! Available at  Summary: This book is based on both the author's personal experience as a single mom and the wisdom she gained from working on the staff of Crown Financial Ministries. The author's intimate understanding of the needs, hurts, and struggles of single moms helps make this book very practical and compassionate. Its title is misleading-it covers much more than "workplace" survival. It would better be titled, "The Low-Income Single Mom's Survival Guide." It provides an overview of many different struggles single moms face-everything from finding a support system to how to be a good employee to money management. Why does FASTEN recommend this resource? The book offers a realistic picture of single motherhood and may make a good resource for family mentoring programs. |
