A few weeks before my seventh birthday, I sat on the wall bordering my driveway. My favorite big kid in the neighborhood sat with me that day. She invited me to try out for a neighborhood play in their garage. Enticed with the feeling of being included was all it took. The lure was set in motion. Keeping her secret by crossing my heart and swearing to silence sealed the deal. When the garage door closed and a filthy chair was pushed tightly under the doorknob, my heart sank to the place that knows something horrible is about to happen, and there is no way out. On my thirty-eighth Thanksgiving I woke up screaming with no sound after having the worst night terror I ever experienced. This life-altering awakening triggered my carefully tucked away memories I had chosen never to address. On this day, I began the long arduous journey to heal from my childhood nightmare. I fought not only to survive, but to thrive. In this memoir I travel from the evil darkness on the other side of the wall to a hopeful new life I never thought was possible.
"You really should have kids." Hurtling toward 40-and still single and longing for children of her own-Kathleen doesn't need to be reminded that time is running out for her to turn her dreams for a family into reality. So she starts to consider a Plan B: becoming a single parent. But can she do it all on her own? And does she really want to? If only I could try it out, she thinks. For wouldn't an internship as a single mommy help her make major life decisions? And then....In an open, thoughtful, and sometimes hilarious memoir, Kathleen shares what she learns while caring for her 15-month-old nephew, Jake, while his parents travel. With Jake, she experiences the realities of single parenthood, including a taste of the loving affection she craves, fierce tantrums that test her best aunting skills, moments of bliss amidst exploding poopy diapers and ongoing sleep deprivation, and ah-hahs that have her questioning whether she has wasted her life.And that's just the start of her journey. Back at home, she unpacks and examines the societal baggage that led her to believe a woman's only true value is as a mother. Empowered by her experience, research, and introspection, she learns to embrace the different paths women choose, including the one she ultimately chooses for herself.

If you are thinking about becoming a foster parent, need sound parenting advice, or are intrigued by the foster-care system, this book is for you
