Former Northern Exposure star Janine Turner has written a book profiling historic women who managed to juggle a career with single motherhood. The 45-year-old, who is herself a single mom, wants Holding Her Head High to encourage women raising children by themselves to have the confidence to not worry too much.

Turner explains, "I'm a single mom and we all have days when life seems overwhelming. I wanted to share a message of hope - we're not alone; women have done it for centuries."
