Book Synopsis
Across the political spectrum, unwed fatherhood is denounced as one of the leading social problems of today. This book looks at fatherhood among inner-city men often dismissed as deadbeat dads. It helps you examine how couples in challenging straits come together and get pregnant so quickly - without planning.
