Single Mom

Three men grappling with fatherhood and one single mother of striking character and independence face off in this compelling new novel from the bestselling author of Flyy Girl and A Do Right Man.

 
After more than ten years of successfully raising two sons on her own, Denise Stewart finds herself involved with both of her sons' fathers as well as in a relationship with a new man.

Jimmie, the father of her eldest child...after learning that his son is a top basketball prospect, suddenly wants a major role in the teenager's life.

Walter, the father of Denise's second son, is trying to gain custody of his twelve-year-old.

After attending the Million Man March in Washington, Walter believes he should assume full responsibility for his son instead of for just two weekends out of each month.

And there's Brock, the truck driver who is falling in love with Denise but is uncertain whether he wants the burden of a ready-made family.
