Single Mother on the Verge

Memoir of single motherhood, ambition and the blunt comedy of getting through.

"A funny and moving memoir inspired by her award-winning blog, Single Mother on the Verge recounts the adventures of Maria Roberts as a young single parent with a GSOH seeking romance — and finding instead a vegan eco-warrior, an open relationship, and a stolen Viagra tablet in a ladies loo. You feel for her and her son, you will her to make the right decisions and you're with her all the way. Don't let the pastel cover fool you — the writing is excellent and strikingly honest, not least when Maria bravely depicts the reality of domestic violence. A unique book with a charming cast of characters. Highly recommended!"
