It Takes a Village - And Other Lessons Children Teach Us

This book chronicles Clinton's quest - both deeply personal and, in the truest sense, public - to discover how we can make our society into the kind of village that enables children to grow into able, caring, resilient adults. It is time, she believes, to acknowledge that we have to make some changes for our childrens' sake. Advances in technology and the global economy along with other developments in society have brought us much good, but they have also strained the fabric of family life, leaving us and our children poorer in many ways - physically, intellectually, emotionally and spiritually.
