David Blankenhorn's new book is "Fatherless America", which as the title suggests, is about the disappearing role of the father in America. Forty percent of households no longer have a father at home. Blankenhorn believes that this trend is the root cause of much of society's problems, such as juvenile delinquency, teen pregnancy, poverty, domestic and child abuse.
