The trials and tribulations of single parents the world over are both a shared experience and an individual journey. Single parents have endured hardships and challenges that would make the average person breakdown and give up on life. But the single parent have been faced with playing the dual role of mother and father and have learned to cope and for the sake of their family draw on strength from within to bring their family back together and teach their children values and standards. In 'Brokenness Together' I have told the plight of single mother and father. Included in the book are assumptions and stereotypes that are heaped on single parents from society. As well as various stories of single parents of all walks of life; economically and socially. And how through their hardships they still maintain to forge on and defy societal assumptions and overcome brokenness together.
