  Examining the lives of single, working-class mothers in rural America, this book investigates the life of the still stigmatized single-mom. It finds that most rely on low-paid jobs, welfare, inconsistent child support, and help from family and friends just to get by as they often don't have enough money to provide for themselves or their children.
