You've Always Been There for Me makes a significant contribution to the field of family studies and gerontology. Dunifon's arguments are unique, sound, and focused, and shed new light into the roles of grandchildren in grandfamilies. --Christine A. Fruhauf associate professor, Department of Human Development & Family Studies, Colorado State University

Dunifon masterfully addresses an understudied type of family-grandchildren raised by grandparents-and offers insightful policy recommendations for how to promote the well-being of these families. Her research is a model combination of survey techniques, open-ended interviews, and videotaped observations of interactions. As we learn about the financial hardships, the health challenges, and emotional demands experienced by grandparents, we also see the extraordinary bonds between these parental figures and their adolescent grandchildren. Dunifon's superb volume will inspire other scholars to pursue this compelling topic.
