A book which combines empirical research with the emotional impact of a novel. The family whose life is depicted in these pages in one that meets the definition of "average" according to the census. A working father, a stay-at-home mother (who might work part-time), 2.4 children in their teen years, living in suburbia. Quite aside from this as an interesting sociological study, what is most striking is how much the "average" American family has changed in the intervening 40 years. 366 pp.
