I Manage on My Own. How to Raise a Child Alone and Not Go Crazy

Discount

Miya was abandoned, and now she is officially a solo mom. Just when she thought everything had settled after the breakup, she found herself in a dizzying whirlwind of unhelpful friendships, burnout, therapy, insomnia-induced revelations, and finally, she was introduced... to the terrifying world of online dating. "I Manage on My Own" is a collection of autobiographical comic sketches by Anna Hjärmälä, offering a candid and often hilarious look at the joys and sorrows of solo parenting. Can Miya pull herself together if those hands are occupied with a child, and she is tormented by sleep deprivation? "I'll say right away: I don’t have children. But this comic is not just for single mothers. I think the feelings of abandonment, exhaustion, helplessness, and despair are familiar to many women. And I can't imagine what it feels like when you also have an infant. I believe an important message of this book lies in the precise instructions on how to support one another. That kind of support that truly helps: to smile, assist with household chores, hug, go for a walk or to a café together, and finally, just to listen without giving any advice," — Lera Martyanova, creator of the book blog "Marmoset."
