Book Review

-

I highly recommend a book that I just finished reading: Fault Lines: Fractured Families and How To Mend Them by Karl Pillemer, a sociologist who has done ground-breaking research on a new silent epidemic of family estrangement. What I love about the book is that his research subjects are the experts. He shares their advice regarding how they successfully resolved their own family estrangements. 

Pillemer's book is full of reassurance that those experiencing this new epidemic are not alone, along with hope that family fractures can be mended. He offers real, practical advice on how to achieve reconciliation with loved ones
