| Summary |
In Family Trouble, a compelling portrait of upheaval in family life, sociologist Ara Francis tells the stories of middle-class men and women whose children face significant medical, psychological, or social challenges. Children's problems, she finds, begin a chain of disruption that touches virtually every aspect of the parents' lives, leading them to reevaluate deeply held assumptions about their own sense of self and what it means to achieve the good life. |
