A landmark study of the long-term impact of divorce explores its effects on children into adulthood, marriage, and their own parenthood, revealing how they cope with their own fear of failure in relationships and their efforts to overcome that fear. 125,000 first printing. $100,000 ad/promo.
Synopsis: In 1976, Judith Wallerstein began a 15 year study of 131 children whose parents were all going through a divorce. She asked them to share the intimate details of their lives, which they did with remarkable candour. Wallerstein was rewarded with a portrait of each of their lives as she followed them from childhood, through their adolescent struggles and into adulthood. Using a comparison group of adults who grew up in the same communities, Wallerstein returned to her original subjects 10 years after the official study ended to show how adult children of divorce essentially view life differently from their peers whose parents remain married, both happily and unhappily. We witness their struggles, their vulnerabilities, their desperate need to be loved while at the same time terrified of intimacy. Can they overcome their fear of betrayal and failure to find loving partners, or are they doomed to repeat their parents' mistakes?
