The U.S. has experienced a dramatic increase in births to unmarried women in recent decades -- from 4% of births in 1950, with most of the babies then adopted, to more than 30% today. Melissa Ludtke's book is the only in-depth analysis of this radical change in family formation to compare and contrast the lives of these mothers of varying ages and economic circumstances.
"Ludtke... conducts an illuminating tour of the profound social and moral changes that have occurred over the past generation, as played out in the lives of more than thirty women, including herself .... Ludtke's book is a lesson that.., intensely personal storytelling coupled with solid research can illuminate a topic in ways that more traditional journalism may not."
