My Journey Home by Dr. Rita Carr

My Journey Home:
There is Hope for Single Parent Families & Hurting Women

"And my god will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus."  Philippians 4:19

​

Many single parents suffer daily from pain, rejection, and heartache, though they often put their needs aside in order to provide for their children. If you are one of these parents, author and counselor Rita Carr understands these unique challenges you face. In My Journey Home she speaks from her experience as she provides encouragement, advice, and practical life skills to parents who need answers.

​

Through her own story, coupled with key wisdom gained from her experience as a licensed counselor, Rita will show you that:

  • There is help and hope available for overwhelmed single parents.

  • Your life has purpose, and you are capable of great things.

  • Neglecting your emotional wounds can hurt you and your children.

  • Surrendering to the Lord will make your life easier, not harder.
