Overwhelmed: The Life of a Single Mom begins as a page-turning drama following the life of one single mom who became a homeless teen mom at only 17. As the tale unfolds, personal tragedies of death, abuse, molestation, and poverty riddle the life of this single mom. Financial woes, parenting struggles, and emotional devastation only scratch the surface of this roller coaster of events that take place over the next several years, as she struggles to find relief from the day to day throws of making parenting decisions alone, while juggling work, college, and much more.
Ultimately, the mom lands a job, for which by all accounts she was not qualified, as she sees the hand of God begin moving her out of the pit of despair. The job leads to many lessons, including the ultimate reality that the God of her youth had never left her. He loves her and wants a relationship with her. Ultimately, the moms finds herself a successful executive in Corporate America who lays out with great transparency her personal failures, many mistakes, and exciting and sometimes challenging journey to find freedom in Christ.
The book contains a 12-part Bible study and journal that details all the things the mom learned along the way. Overwhelmed: The Life of a Single Mom is ideal for any individual or group study, covering such topics as Parenting Well Alone, Overcoming the Victim Mentality, Managing Money, Freedom in Christ, and so much more. The book is currently being taught in churches around the globe.
