Book recommendation: Single Mom Seeking

I highly recommend Rachel Sarah's new memoir Single Mom Seeking: Play Dates, Blind Dates and Other Dispatches from the Dating World to single parents, children of single parents, and anyone who likes a good dating memoir. Her writing is engaging and moving and she never plays the victim, but rather shows the reality, good and bad, of being a single mom. The father of her daughter wound up taking off when the child was less than a year old and the book is about how Rachel navigated the last six years on her own, both learning how to be a mom and a single woman in her late 20s, and now early 30s. She's reading at In The Flesh on January 17th for Erotic Memoir night, and I will be interviewing her soon for this very blog, so stay tuned. You can also check out Rachel's recent essay about some of the negative reactions to her story at The Huffington Post and her blog.
