Reviews
The case studies of the couples are compelling, revealing, and sometimes surprising.

Detailed chapter references, extensive footnotes, and an index make this a very useful reference for a wide audience. * Choice *
This book is a welcome addition to the literature on fathers. Readers will obtain an understanding not only of the challenges and joys facing adolescent fathers but also how adolescent fathering manifests in the context of the changing family institution, race, gender, and social class. The authors provide a wonderful inside view of how clinicians and educators can work with young fathers and mothers. * Alan J. Hawkins, PhD, Camilla E.
