Promises I Can Keep: Why Poor Women Put Motherhood Before Marriage
Over a span of five years, sociologists Kathryn Edin and Maria Kefalas talked in-depth with low-income single moms to learn how they think about marriage and family. Promises I can keep offers an intimate look at what marriage and motherhood mean to these women and provides the most extensive on-the-ground study to date of why they put children before marriage despite the daunting challenges they know lie ahead.--Back cover
