The United States has the highest family fragmentation rates in the industrial world. Nonmarital birth rates for the nation as a whole are 40%, with proportions dramatically higher in many communities as defined by race, ethnicity, or geography. Divorce rates, while moderating in recent decades, are still estimated at about 40% for first marriages and 50% for second ones. Together, this fragmentation impacts millions of children as well as adults, leading to educational, economic, and other losses that in turn lead to lower social mobility and deepening class divisions. In Broken Bonds, Mitch Pearlstein explores the declining state of the American family and what its disintegration means for our future. Based on candid interviews with forty leading family experts across the political spectrum - from Stephanie Coontz, to Heather Mac Donald - Pearlstein ruminates on the political, social, and spiritual fallout of this trend. In honest and frank conversations, Pearlstein and his interviewees fearlessly diagnose the problems that many have been too timid to explore and suggest ways to reverse these trends that threaten our social fabric.

Mitch Armaugh, a man with an international reputation in Christendom, suddenly found himself a single dad with two of his three sons still at home and about to enter high school. Mitch had just weathered the tragic and painful loss of his college sweetheart to cancer. He was lonely, available, and very ripe for the picking. Enter Terry Loretta Shafer, a never married loner with a Ritalin-addicted sonwho did not know his deadbeat father. Terry, a lifelong clerical worker stuck in a dead-end customer phone support job eked out a meagerliving among Persian immigrants on the seamy side of Phoenix, AZ. In this grinding, true story of persistence and loss, you will see how a dysfunctional but highly manipulative "Christian" woman wormed her way into a high paying job, a $500,000 condo, a tidy retirement account and a neat California no-fault divorce - all at the expense of a Christian man who only wanted to give his heart away.
When Mitch finds himself unceremoniously dumped by his fianc e, he doesn't get too worked up about it. Instead, he moves to London in search of a career and soon finds himself reveling in the anonymity of being a carefree young man in one of the world's most exciting cities. As he climbs the corporate ladder with an ease that makes him the target of his less fortunate co-workers, Mitch embarks on a series of inappropriate affairs, gets entangled with a series of roommates including an elderly (and unpredictably violent) woman he finds himself serving as the unwilling companion to. His intimate confessions and musings are simultaneously delightful and embarrassing to the reader, as this average college graduate finds himself irresistibly drawn to extreme characters, wild situations, and bad decisions. In "Wanton Times," a satirical and witty take on "Catcher in the Rye," you'll find the tale of a contemporary everyman who doggedly refuses to grow up. He may be apathetic, unprincipled, and living with complete disregard for consequences-but he's entirely entertaining.
