Routledge Unbroken Homes - Single-Parent Mothers Tell Their Stories

Unbroken Homes offers a deep look into the real-life triumphs and tragedies of single-parent mothers. Part of the Haworth Innovations in Feminist Studies series, this book functions as a story quilt of personal narratives. Built from in-depth, case study interviews with five single-parent mothers, the text presents their journeys as mothers, daughters, and women. Readers experience these stories in their own words, exploring life in relationships and in solitude. By presenting these lived experiences, the book works to break through the stigma often associated with the term "broken homes." It provides a fresh perspective on the reorganization of American families and encourages readers to rethink damaging stereotypes. This work is essential for those interested in the social sciences, sociology, and feminist studies, offering a humanizing view of modern family structures.
