Description
About the Book
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".Book Synopsis
"[A] well reasoned, empirically sound, and an important contribution to the public debate." -- William J. Bennett, author of The Book of Virtues
A compelling and controversial exploration of absentee fathers and their impact on the nation
One of the most urgent and controversial books of the 90s, "'Fatherless in America' has instantly become a catch phrase" (Los Angeles Times). Blankenhorn defines the growing fatherlessness in America and how we can restore fathers to their rightful place in our families.
