Focusing on the challenges faced by single-parent families, particularly those led by women in Canada, the book highlights the critical role of post-secondary education in breaking the cycle of poverty. It argues that choices made during high school graduation significantly impact women's long-term economic independence, emphasizing that marrying before pursuing higher education can lead to financial instability. The narrative encourages young women to pursue university education, reflecting a growing trend where women now outnumber men in degree attainment, empowering them for future self-sufficiency.
