A couple of years into single motherhood, Rachel Sarah stopped picking up toys - and started picking up men. Not really, but it sure has a nice ring to it. Her book, "Single Mom Seeking: Play Dates, Blind Dates and Other Dispatches From the Dating World," was published this year.

Sarah's writing has appeared in Family Circle, Pregnancy, Parenting and the Christian Science Monitor as well as on Literary Mama, BabyCenter and washingtonpost.com. She has talked way too much about her personal life on TV, including in interviews on ABC and CBS. She is 35 and lives in the Bay Area with her seven-year-old daughter, who is quite camera shy.
