Books like Operation Mommy by Caroline Cross
Though Morrison's three little sons had terrific taste in picking out a dream mom, he had no intention of marrying the woman they chose. The boys wanted a mother, but Alex wasn't getting hitched---ever.
The minute the Morrison boys met Shay Spencer, they put "Operation Mom" into place. She could handle anything missing gerbils, exploding ant farms... even their dad. And the plan was working---sort of.
All "Operation Mom" did was make Shay fall madly in love with the most confirmed bachelor father in the West. Perhaps it was time for "Operation Husband"...

It seems no mother of a newborn has ever been more hilarious, more honest, or more touching than Anne Lamott is in Operating Instructions. A single parent whose baby's father is out of the picture, Lamott struggles not only to support her little family by her wits and her writing but to stay sober at the same time. Faith in God helps; so does her loyal band of helpers, from her childless best friend Pammy to her mother and "Aunt Dudu" to the folks at the La Leche League hotline. And between colic, wheat-free diets, and the triumph of solid food, Lamott learns that blessings and losses come together, and that as our capacity for joy increases, so does our capacity for grief.
