No family is perfect. Financial problems, the death of a loved one, relocation, divorce, infidelity, teenagers--every family has its own trials and tribulations to face as it tries to grow as a unit. Natalie Baszile, Lin Enger, and Carolyn Osborn examine the changing landscape of "the family" and how they illustrate families in literature.
