About Single Parent
One character is raising a child alone — widowed, divorced, or a guardian by accident — and the story balances parenthood with everything else, often including a love interest who has to win over two hearts instead of one.
The kid is the ultimate character witness; watching a love interest earn a wary child's approval tells readers everything about whether they deserve the parent.
Common scenarios: A widowed firefighter whose kid orchestrates meetings with the nice paramedic, or a single dad and his child's teacher pretending parent conferences need to be weekly.
