Short Stories of a Single Mom with Four Young Boys

This is Life: Short Stories of a Single Mom with Four Young Boys

$19.99

In 2008, I wrote a weekly newspaper column in the local paper (Spruce Grove Examiner & Stony Plain Reporter) called "This is Life". This book is the collection of my columns over one year.

A heartfelt collection of short stories chronicling the wild, tender, and unfiltered journey of a single mother raising four young boys.

With each story grounded in real-life moments, readers are taken on an emotional rollercoaster, from belly laughs over dinner-table disasters to tears during quiet bedtime confessions.

Through humor, heartbreak, and raw honesty, the collection captures the chaos of motherhood, the weight of doing it alone, and the profound, unconditional love that keeps her going.

Whether it’s navigating broken bones, broken rules, or broken hearts, these stories speak to the resilience of a woman who shows up every day, messy bun, mismatched socks, and all.
