Do you sometimes feel like you're alone in the world? With no clear sense of direction? Do you long for genuine guidance on life, relationships, love, parenting and running your own household? Young women and single mothers often feel alone in the world when they lack the guidance of a mother who can act as a mentor. The person they are supposed to look to for mentoring and guidance is either not emotionally available or incapable of providing it.

Dr. Chris Stroble, a former teacher and college professor, has mentored young women and single mothers throughout her career. She has now taken her mentorship outside the classroom and onto her YouTube channel and podcast, Monday Mentoring Moments for Young Women.

In this collection of short chapters, she draws on her videos and podcast to explain:

• Why you feel alone in the world with no clear direction.
• Why Black single mothers are often blamed for problems within black families and society.
• How to accept the reality that many Black single mothers will never get married.
• How to heal the agony of feeling that you are not good enough.
• How to reclaim your life.
• How you can forge a path forward for you and your children.
