The Polyamorists Next Door: Inside Multiple-Partner Relationships and Families by Elisabeth Sheff

4.0

This book came about from 15 years of research in the poly community from the author. For those who continually say "What about the kids" when it comes to poly people Elisabeth gave those real life important answers. I felt like her research was ground breaking in the sense that very few books focus on poly households and the day to day lives of those families. I really liked that the author included LGBTQ people and their families as well in her research as well. One thing I can say that I was disappointed with is that there was virtually no representation of poly people of color. Which I brought up to a friend who's doing research on poly people of color. He stated and I agree that the poly community is divided along the color lines. Which I feel is very sad. All in all I'm happy that I read this book.
