Single Mothering

With acidic humour, true stories and brutal honesty, Anna Härmälä explores the ups and downs of single motherhood in this colourful, irreverent graphic novel. After being dumped, Mia is officially a single mother. Just when she thinks the dust has settled from her breakup, she's thrust into a confusing whirlwind of slightly useless friendships, exhaustion, therapy, cathartic playgroup daydreaming sessions, and eventually, the terrifying world of online dating. Anna Härmälä's semi-autobiographical comic vignettes offer a candid (and often hilarious) portrayal of the ups and downs of single parenthood as she discovers how to piece herself back together while raising a tiny human alone on very little sleep.
