Why Don't You Have Kids?: Living a Full Life Without Parenthood
Lafayette, the founder of the ChildFree Network, a national support group for childless adults, here offers an insightful exploration of parenting?and not parenting. The book is filled to the binding with questions, answers, interviews, and anecdotes for those deciding whether or not to have children. Importantly, the male as well as the female perspective is examined. But perhaps the book's most impressive quality is the writing. At just the right times, Lafayette is refreshingly lighthearted and humorous, while at others she knows how to drive home a point. All of these qualities combine to create a thoroughly enjoyable reading experience out of an important topic. Highly recommended for psychology/self-help collections.?Marty D.
