520    The Polyamorists Next Door introduces polyamorous families,
       in which people are free to pursue emotional, romantic, 
       and sexual relationships with multiple people at the same 
       time, openly and with support from their partners, 
       sometimes forming multi-partner relationships, or other 
       arrangements that allow for emotional and sexual freedom 
       within the family system. In colorful and moving details, 
       this book explores how polyamorous relationships come to 
       be, grow and change, manage the ins and outs of daily 
       family life, and cope with the challenges they face both 
       within their families and from society at large. Using 
       polyamorists' own words, Dr. Elisabeth Sheff examines 
       polyamorous households and reveals their advantages, 
       disadvantages, and the daily lives of those living in 
       them.
