The lifestyle of adult children can frequently cause serious family tension and disruption. Parents' expectations, no matter how well intended, are often alien to their children. In this wise, practical and balanced book parents are helped to bridge the gap of alienation and separation when a son or daughter chooses to live an alternative lifestyle, whether it be social, sexual, religious or professional. The principles outlined in the book serve as a guide not only for parents but also for grandparents, brothers, sisters and friends of a person who has chosen a lifestyle with values that are different from those upheld by society at large. These principles can be still further applied to all life transitions, for it is a book about coping, about change and about moving from shock into acceptance of the circumstances of one's life.
