Description
From "a man's home was his castle" to "traditional families never asked for a handout," this provocative book explodes cherished illusions about the last two centuries of American family life to expose the falseness, sentimentality, and self-righteousness of our accepted familial morays.
First Sentence
WHEN I begin teaching a course on family history, I often ask my students to write down ideas that spring to mind when they think of the "traditional family."
