A MYTH-BREAKER, this book will affect your
perception of family and parenting.

In THE TWO-PARENT FAMILY IS NOT THE BEST, women who as children were "seen and not heard" are heard. How they were treated as children is revealed in this research study of women raised by single fathers, single mothers, both biological parents, and step parents. Can women who had no mother be good mothers? What advantages do single-parent families have over two-parent families? The answer will surprise you.

This book is the result of a scientific research study comparing women who had been raised by a single father, with women who had been raised by a single mother, or by both biological parents, or by a step parent. Women across the country answered questionnaires about their growing up. How had their family configuration affected their adulthood? This 450 page book is filled with personal, compelling letters written about different growing-up experiences in different situations. The result of the questionnaires are compiled into statistical charts and analyzed for their psychological implications in child raising.
