The Price of Divorce
Wallerstein's goal...is not to condemn divorce. It's to remind us that it takes a toll on children that adults may not want to acknowledge.Talbot, M. (2000, October 1). The New York Times Book Review, p. 10-11.
Marriage matters
Reviewing these books cannot be separated from reviewing a culture that has made what my parents thought was common sense into grounds for contention.Wilson, J.Q. (2000, October 9). National Review, 49-52.
