From Back Cover: The family is certainly not dead, but it sure is changing.
Betty Jane Wylie's Family : An Exploration is nothing less than a "state of
the union" look at the Canadian family.

For Wylie, it's not what families look like that matters, it what they do
that counts. To prove her point, she shows us Canadian family in action how
we clothe, feed, and nurture our children; how we support ourselves financially;
how we instill in our family groupings a sense of values and morality; how we
cope with the realities of divorce, lone parenting, and remarriage; and how,
sometimes,
we  end up struggling with abuse, violence, and poverty. In the final chapters,
Wylie looks to the future to reflect on what the family may yet still become.

For those who care about the Canadian family, what it is and how it operates, what
makes its special and what will help it survive, this book will be invaluable.
