Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:A quarter century ago, Wallerstein, widely considered the world's
foremost authority on the effects of divorce on children, began
talking to a group of 131 children whose parents were going through a
divorce. She has followed them through their adolescence into
adulthood, and is here joined by Julia M. Lewis (psychology, San
Francisco State U.) and Sandra Blakeslee, a science correspondent for
The New York Times, to report in detail on seven of them, now in
their late twenties to early forties, as representative of the group
and of children of divorce in general.
