Many Mothers Many Fathers: How the War in My Life Can Bring Peace to Yours

led eventually to Many Mothers, Many Fathers -- a support group

and refuge for adolescents and their families.

If you're a parent, a young adult or anyone who cares for young adults,

I believe this book will speak to you. It is my memoir, but also a book

which analyzes teen problems, and shows how to start a Many Mothers, Many

Fathers group. It can help parents and children to navigate the risky

adolescent years -- together.

Young people who came through Many Mothers, Many Fathers were the

ones who insisted I write this book, to share what we have learned.

My dear friend and editor Andrew Szanton helped enormously in the writing.
