There are so many different threads on here that mention books and movies that feature or deal with children of a single parent. In hopes of creating one comprehensive list, please list any additions you can think of and I will add them to this post. If you have read and feel passionate (both positive or negative) about any of the books/movies even those already mentioned please chime in with your thoughts!
