A Single Mother's Diary is a compelling piece of a woman's experiences as a mother and wife. April Autery shares her testimony in an endearingly honest fashion, surrounding the joys of motherhood, with her traumatizing experience with a husband who later grows verbally and emotionally abusive in their marriage. This can serve as a cautionary tale for many, as Autery reveals the many blessings, which stem from relationships, such as children, but informs readers of the many ways Satan can tempt us through destructiveness in relationships. She shares the value of being evenly yoked in partnerships, for an ideal Godly union and shares red flags many endure in abusive relationships. A Single Mother's Diary is raw, real, and can mirror the existence of many men and women stuck in unhealthy unions. Her experiences with the cycles of pain and purification reveal a determination to reach for God in difficulty, and her healing is revealing of God's power. She also provides ways she has forgiven her estranged husband, the importance of single parent support groups and how her relationship with God has strengthened her spirit and heart.
