My Single Mom Life

Trey Ellis is an African-American single father, blogger, and author.
He shared with me a copy of his latest book Bedtime Stories: Adventures in the Land of Single-Fatherhood.
I received it last week, and spent time reading it cover to cover.
What I found was something I wasn't expecting.

Book description from Amazon,

How is a single dad supposed to navigate a new girlfriend into and out of his California king without his son or daughter noticing? For Trey Ellis, steering his way through the unfamiliar nuances of the contemporary dating scene is sometimes a nerve-racking exercise in intra-familial spycraft. But the rewards of being a dad, as any parent knows, easily outweigh any hardships. In a world where African-American fathers are relentlessly portrayed as absent without leave, this irresistible memoir is both a tribute to all those loving, nurturing, black men who are undaunted by the responsibilities of fatherhood and an utterly charming male nonfiction.

Trey Ellis is a loving, caring, single father trying to find his way, find a way to pick up the pieces of his life after his wife left, and find someone to love again, all the while being a great dad to his children.
It's an honest memoir, right down to some embarrassing moments that all single parents face. I found myself shocked at how honest he was, but nodding along, even laughing, saying to myself, oh gawd, I've had that happen to me!
The modern dating scene for single parents, is nerve-wracking, and if you do start dating, what about the kids? When do you introduce them, how, should you do it at all? Ack!
Changing diapers, frozen dinners, those moments late at night when it's just you, your thoughts, and a can of pepsi. Those moments when you wonder if you're strong enough to do this and then realize, you have to no matter what.

I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful memoir, and I know my single parent, and non-single parent readers alike, will love it as well.
That's why I'm having another give-a-way.
