Fatherless America

More than half the nation''s children spend at least some of their childhood without a father in the home. This provocative book goes beyond documenting the ill effects of absent fathers on individual families to show how the very ideal of fatherhood is under siege-with devastating effects on society at large. With passion and precision, Fatherless America demonstrates that no social trend of our generation is more dangerous than fatherlessness. The book concludes with a plan for rediscovering the goal of -a father for every child.''
