Sommario/riassunto |
|
The Best Kept Secret studies the often-overlooked group of single, African American custodial fathers. Filled with dynamic interviews and intriguing case studies, the author draws on qualitative research to paint a nuanced picture of the parenting experiences of these fathers and recommends policy changes to improve the situations for children and single parents-particularly these often-unseen fathers. |
