Lost and Found shares the stories of several young men becoming parents in an era where family is being re-defined-while our understanding of what it means to be a father, in particular, is in flux. It offers a model of the "good-enough father" to counter the all-or-nothing stereotypes of the deadbeat or absentee dad versus the ideal father figure popularized in old sitcoms. The authors also offer detailed descriptions of what can be done to help young fathers and mothers create stable home environments for their children, whether the parents are together or not.
