| Summary |
By delving into the latest research and conducting probing interviews with both frustrated parents and their flummoxed offspring, Koslow uses humor and honest self-reflection to give voice to the issues of prolonged dependency. From the young adult's relationship to work (or no work), money (that convenient parental ATM), and social life, "Slouching toward adulthood" reports on lives that illustrate the adage "Little kids, little problems; big kids, big problems." Provocative and razor-sharp, this is also a heartfelt cri de couer that can help families navigate these complicated issues as it sparks a national conversation that will reverberate around our unexpectedly crowded dining tables for years to come. |
