Sobre este artículo
New York, NY, U.S.A.: G. P. Putnam's Sons, Inc. 1996. Hard Cover. As New/As New. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. The author of the best-selling "Reviving Ophelia" extends her reclamation efforts to address the needs of the family as the foundational source of the strength and health in every culture and society. While she shares the alarm of many observers regarding the bewildering array of societal, cultural, and economic pressures impinging upon families in the late 1990s, Pipher has little use for jeremiads. She is interested in offering thoughtful, practical strategies to reach families where they are, and to help them call upon the reserves of mutual nurture and support that lie in "the shelter of each other." We know that families are in trouble in our society today, but it takes the clear-sighted and passionate Mary Pipher to show what is wrong and to point us in the right direction. 282 pages..
Sinopsis
“Simple solutions for survival in this family-unfriendly culture…Eye-opening…heart-wrenching and uplifting.”— San Francisco Chronicle Even more resonant today than at its original publication twelve years ago, The Shelter of Each Other traces the effects of our society’s “anti-family” way of life, where parents are overtaxed, children are undersupervised, and technology is rapidly dictating how we interact. As she did in her number-one bestseller Reviving Ophelia , Mary Pipher illuminates how our families are suffering at the hands of shifting cultural norms, and she snaps our gave into crisp focus. Drawing on the fascinating stories of families rich and poor, angry and despairing, religious and skeptical, and probing deep into her own family memories and experiences, Pipher clears a path to the strength and energy at the core of family life. Compassionate and heart-wrenching, The Shelter of Each Other is an impassioned call for us to gather our families in our arms and hold on to them for dear life.
