Too often these moms who do it all have been misrepresented and maligned. Not anymore. In \u003ci\u003eWe Got This\u003c\/i\u003e, seventy-five solo mom writers tell the truth about their lives--their hopes and fears, their resilience and setbacks, their embarrassments and triumphs. Some of these writers' names will sound familiar, like Amy Poehler, Anne Lamott, and Elizabeth Alexander, while others are about to become unforgettable. Bound together by their strength, pride, and--most of all-- their dedication to their children, they broadcast a universal and empowering message: You are not alone, solo moms--and your tenacity, courage, and fierce love are worthy of celebration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Marika Lindholm founded ESME.com to ignite a social movement of solo moms.
