Description
Over a span of five years, the authors talked in-depth with 162 low-income single moms to learn how they think about marriage and family. This book offers an intimate look at what marriage and motherhood mean to these women and provides an extensive on-the-ground study of why they put children before marriage despite the daunting challenges they know lie ahead.
