Mary Pipher wrote THE SHELTER OF EACH OTHER in 1996. Now she's updating this book about family communication to reflect the high tech ways that we keep in touch.

The Shelter of Each Other

"How's the Family?" delves into the everyday truths about the families we grow up in and the ones we choose later on. It features the news that comes from our families every day -- what we share with each other about how we get along and how we manage to answer the question "How's the Family?" -- as a society and as individuals.
