The Daddy Shift

An accessible, smart, personal, and deeply researched book about a growing phenomenon — dads taking a much larger role in raising children. What, practical and psychological challenges do they face? What kinds of relationships are they in? And what does the path they are carving out mean for the larger society? Filled with men’s stories, as well as entertainingly reported research and analysis, Smith’s book is a guide for thoughtful readers to a new terrain that more and more families are exploring, and more and more Americans are looking to make sense of.
