Overview

Single mom Carrie Bennet knows that her 'new' home in a run-down townhouse is a much better place than living with her cruel and controlling ex-husband, and she's determined to create a good life for herself and her two children. With a budget so tight that one wrong move can leave her homeless, the stress is overwhelming. She's willing to do almost anything to get her head above water, but with no experience and no degree, her prospects are slim. Her biggest chance comes from the most unlikely place--the dumpster in the parking lot of her complex. With creativity, hard work, and a little luck this might be the breakthrough she's been hoping for. Sweet, Smart, and Struggling is the first in series featuring fun, creative women who make their own rags-to-riches stories come true. Get inspired, find some new friends, and escape with these feel-good stories. Start reading today!

If you're a single mom or dad, struggling and feeling hopeless, this book will be exactly what you need to realize that this too shall pass and you have what it takes to succeed and fulfill your dreams just like Carrie does! This book will stay in my library for a very long time. It's inspiring and gives sound advice for reaching financial independence. I found Carrie to be so relatable! I like the message in this story, that you never know where a new relationship might lead. I'm excited to read the next installment in the series and see where Carrie goes with her education. I was immediately drawn in by the main character, Carrie. Her story of her struggle went much deeper than her financial distress as a newly single parent. Yet, my heart sank as I felt the pain alongside her character as she collected cans and bottles with her children in order to afford groceries. We all have had our low points in our lives, but Carrie's story, fictional or not in nature, gives me hope that even through my own struggles I too can face my demons and discover the strength within myself. I'm definitely recommending this book to a few of my friends. Real and relatable. More than just your average novel, this inspirational book is for any single mothers out there struggling financially or feeling hopeless. The book spoke to me on a personal level and made me think about my own life and various possibilities. I read it all in one day, and am now waiting impatiently for the next book in the series. This book rekindles your hope in the power of belief and positive thinking. When your attitude is right, solutions emerge on their own. The single mother with two kids and a truckload of issues comes out stronger, fiercer and better.
