Women Home Alone: Learning to Thrive

This book is an empowering and encouraging manual that will edify you on the first read, and then remain a valuable resource to have on the shelf! It is written from a Christian point of view, though I think anyone would find it useful. In reading it, one feels a comaraderie with the many women who have traveled this road before. Mrs. Sprinkle's insights on the myriad challenges of life alone are all valuable, yet this book also justifies its place on the shelf simply as a handbook for the most common DIY home & auto repairs one might encounter. For very busy women, I also heartily recommend her better-known book, "Women Who Do Too Much." The life lessons she shares have remained with me through the last 12 years since I first read her books, and I frequently share them with women I meet. This book makes a wonderful gift - I am buying a copy for my sister, a single grad student who just bought her first townhome.
