Grade 6 Up—Immigrant Families discusses the challenges for children of living in two cultures, speaking two languages, and adapting to their new country more quickly than their parents. Religious Communities discusses the advantages and disadvantages of "being different" from the mainstream. All of the books have the same introduction, which cites research and statistics in Gallup Polls about the American family. Subsequent chapters present background information in the form of historical data as well as current trends relating to each type of family. Highlighted words are defined throughout in "Terms to Understand" boxes.
