"...provides a pretty definitive look at sandwich generation couples. Neal and Hammer do a wonderful job of simplifying the presentation.....well-written piece of work."

"The topic is timely. Given the tendency for many couples to delay becoming parents until their 30s or even 40s, and the increased longevity of the grandparent generation, a small but significant number of dual-earner families face the challenge of providing care to both generations. This group may grow in the coming years. The interdisciplinary nature of the authorship team is a plus, enabling them to discuss their findings in ways that will interest a wide audience."

"The qualitative elements combined with the quantitative data should make the work accessible to a broad audience."

"This is a very thorough and well-organized volume that has relevance to research regarding work and family. The book's most unique feature is the focus on dual-career couples with multiple caregiver roles. It is also unique in that it tackles this topic in a comprehensive manner through the lens of a large-scale, well-designed study. The study design features are notable in that both qualitative and quantitative work was done, both members of the couple were included in the study, and multiple waves of data were collected. The book succeeds in presenting complex issues in a seamless and highly readable manner."
