In this book, there's a chapter called "Single Parenting." The stories contained in this chapter are a perfect counterpoint to all the gloomy statistics painted by "experts" who claim that children of single parents drop out of school, become juvenile delinquents, become pregnant, wind up in prison, or don't have a chance for a bright future. These stories prove that growing up in a single-parent home doesn't have to be that way. Maybe that so-called expert Judith Wallerstein and others like her who doom kids in single-parent homes to gloomy futures should read this book, especially that chapter.
