With passion and precision, this compelling and controversial exploration of absentee fathers and their impact on the nation shows how the very ideal of fatherhood is under siege--as more than half of the nation's children are without a father in the home--and proposes a plan for rediscovering the goal of "a father for every child".
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.'
