Our TA LK series for September-November explores the theme of the modern family. Beginning in the mid-20th century\, the stereotypical American family has been comprised of mother\, father and 2.5 children &mdash\; the so-called nuclear family. Yet\, in reality\, very few families meet this standard. A doptive\, step\, blended\, multi-generational &ndash\; families realistica lly come in all shapes and sizes. Relationships between family members are also complex and run the gamut from loving and nurturing to traumatic. Th e books in this series challenge and complicate our notion of what it mean s to be a family.
