This book was good food for thought, though I wish the later chapters were as well thought-out and well written as the earlier chapters were.

One of my favorite chapters was “Monster Moms”. Coming from a single-parent home myself, it always gets under my skin when someone tries to convince me that illegitimacy is a Great Evil and that it’s always better to have two parents instead of one. So now I have some facts to back up my side of that particular argument.
