Abstract

Lauren Sandler's 'One and Only' challenges the stereotypes surrounding only children and their parents. Through a blend of extensive research, personal anecdotes, and cultural analysis, Sandler argues that only children often grow up with significant advantages and that the decision to have one child can lead to greater personal and familial well-being. The book addresses societal prejudices and myths about only children being selfish or maladjusted, offering a broader perspective on family size and its implications for happiness and fulfillment. It is a thought-provoking read for parents, policymakers, and anyone interested in contemporary American culture and family dynamics.

Abstract

"More than forty-five million Americans attempt to survive under the poverty line, day by day. Nearly 60,000 people sleep in New York City-run shelters every night--forty percent of them children. This Is All I Got makes this issue deeply personal, vividly depicting one woman's hope and despair and her steadfast determination to improve her situation, despite the myriad setbacks she encounters. Camila is a twenty-two-year-old new mother. She has no family to rely on, no partner, and no home. Despite her intelligence and determination, the odds are firmly stacked against her. Award-winning journalist Lauren Sandler tells the story of a year in Camila's life--from the birth of her son to his first birthday--as she navigates the labyrinth of poverty and homelessness in America. As Camila attempts to secure a college education and a safe place to raise her son, she copes with dashed dreams, failed relationships, and miles of red tape with grit, grace, and resilience. This Is All I Got is a dramatic story of survival and powerful indictment of a broken system, but it is also a revealing and candid depiction of the relationship between an embedded reporter and her subject and the tricky boundaries to navigate when it's impossible to remain a dispassionate observer"--
