Book excerpt: In her inaugural publishing effort, Tracey Mitchell Lyles' "The Single Parents Guide to Survival, Sanity and Success" addresses many challenges and themes facing today's single parents in a very sincere and down to earth fashion. Ms. Lyles does an exceptional job of sharing small tidbits of her personal trials while helping the reader find the love and lesson in each one. The book is unique in that Ms. Lyles begins each chapter with a quote regarding parenting from such notables as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Katherine Whitehorn, and Jessie Jackson to name a few. In drawing upon her personal experiences as a single parent, from dating to managing finances to climbing the corporate ladder, Ms. Lyles has added colorful comments and antecdotes of tried and true family members to deliver sage advice wrapped in a very inspirational context.
