Shannon Pryor writes for single mothers navigating the everyday realities of parenting, growth, and rebuilding. At twenty-eight, she lost her fiancé to a sudden stroke while pregnant and caring for an infant son-an experience that thrust her into single motherhood during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through grief, reflection, and hard-won resilience, Shannon rebuilt her life while raising her children with intention and compassion. In her debut book, Mama and Babe, she blends honest personal storytelling with practical, chapter-by-chapter guidance to support other single mothers on similar paths. Shannon lives in Canada with her sons and believes in the quiet strength found in presence, connection, and community.
