Broken Homes: A Study of Family Desertion and its Social Treatment
Joanna Carver Colcord
Desertion was called the poor man's divorce, and Joanna Colcord met it daily as a New York charity superintendent. Her 1919 study examines why husbands vanish, what becomes of the families left behind, and how caseworkers can actually help. One of the first professional treatments of family breakdown in American social work. Compassion organized into method.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
