Not Your Father’s America: An Adventure Raising Triplets in a Country Being Changed by Greed - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A compelling and humorous page-turner that combines two narratives: one an account of the physical and emotional struggle to have a family, the shock of having triplets, and the challenge of raising them; the other is a timely and insightful commentary on changes taking place in the America the triplets are inheriting. Barbara and Cort were a happily married couple when they decided to have children. But they had no idea the struggle and dangers they would face getting pregnant or the heartbreaking loss they would suffer. When Barbara finally becomes pregnant and safely delivers triplet boys, they must dive in -- overwhelmed and outnumbered -- to face the exhausting and unrelenting demands of caring for three babies at once while continuing to work in their respective careers. Following the boys, as they grow up, Casady includes numerous anecdotes and ingenious discoveries that every parent can appreciate. Through it all, the author offers insightful commentary about his father's America, the America he and his brothers were raised in, and the America his sons (and their generation) are inheriting, all while examining how economic injustice, deregulation, and greed are affecting and undermining the American experience. "Not Your Father's America" is a vivid account about a family forged out of determination, parience, acceptance, discipline, and love -- lots of love.
