Description

Being fatherless herself, Katrina Nsheiwat writes passionately about the broken home in America. According to United States census data, 21.8 million children are fatherless, raised by 13.7 million single parents - 11 million are single moms. Proud of her Jordanian-American heritage, the author stresses the need for role models and extended family members as surrogate parents. She pleads for a return to basic family values: "Research shows that every day more than thirty-five hundred children are born to unwed mothers. They will all grow up fatherless. If I can show that children of single parents can overcome adversity and become productive citizens through love, discipline, education, and faith, my highest aspirations for this book will be realized."
