Please welcome Angela Schroeder, author of Love Overcomes from Anaiah Press. She's on a blog tour, discussing her new book. Today, Angela looks at how her life as a single mother relates to her character, Arabella.
My life as a single mother is what helped to create Arabella’s story. There are many similarities between myself and Arabella, with our parenting style. I do rely on my family. When I first became a single mother I did move in with my older sister. It was nice to have someone there who supported me and helped me as much as possible. My kids love my parents, my youngest has to call my mom before he goes to bed. That was something that started when he was just a baby. He was colicky and I would call her so she could sing to him. He just kept it up once he was able to actually talk.
I have never been uprooted. I have always live in my hometown, except for a brief stint in a little town across the river. Even then I could drive thirty minutes to see my family and friends. I moved back to my hometown before I had my children. Though during my last pregnancy I was devastated. The father left, it was my older two children and me. My family was great, my mom stepped in and was there with me when I had him. But it was after that when I decided that dating as a single mom has to be my last priority. I want to find the right guy, I mean who does not? But, I do not want a guy brought into my home life. I can’t stand the thought of my children getting attached to someone who may not stick around for one reason or another. It is something that I am still trying to figure out. And I will figure it out, I think that was one of Arabella’s biggest concerns too. What if her son got hurt? She could deal with herself getting hurt but did not want to see him crushed.
