As a single mom currently raising her now teenage son, and sharing custody of her son with his father, author Shae Cooke experiences the parent and child struggle, and the worry and guilt so often associated with the task of solo child rearing. But she also experiences the possibilities every day which have helped she and her son thrive in even the most unfavorable conditions. Broken Home are fighting words to her, as is her determination to say “no” to the negative outlooks for single parents and their families, and it has become her mission to inspire parents and their children toward the same resolve.

With humorously serious advice, and honest transparency, and written square in the battle zone, she comes out with her guns blazing in her book, The Single Parent’s Guide To Raising Godly Children, which meets the single parent and their children’s needs where they are, without leaving parents feeling guilty for what they should have or could have done, which is what sets her book out from many of the helps out there, but in an atmosphere of forgiveness and “this is what you can do now….” It offers many proactive suggestions, helps, resources, a healthy dose of smiles, and much encouragement.

The Single Parent’s Guide To Raising Godly Children is the first of several planned volumes specifically geared to the unique needs of single parents and their families. Shae’s second book, The Single Parent’s Guide To Love, Dating, and Relationships, a crossover book, is due in bookstores FEBRUARY 2011.
