A wealth of authoritative voices provide needed perspective - and invaluable counsel - on coping with issues such as violence in the media, stepparenting, divorce, and balancing the demands of jobs and personal lives. Family Wisdom spans centuries and cultures, offering 2,000 perceptive, insightful, and helpful quotations and proverbs that encompass a rich spectrum of reflections on all aspects of family life.
