This sociological study of Mormon worldview and culture is a fresh and engaging ethnographic portrait of the contemporary lives of typical American Mormons. It accurately and comprehensively provides new insights on the ideology of family building within the varied Mormon communities of this once insular faith.

Dr. Kristeen Lee Black received her Ph.D. from Drew University in the field of Religion and Society. Her work focuses in Congregational and Mormon Studies. Cited most often as an ethnographer, her work appeals to a diverse range of disciplines. Dr. Black currently resides in. Oakland, California. This project explores the social structure and social construction of family within LDS congregations and argues that ward families are special types of kinship networks. Ward families are woven together by an ethic of care that enables their members to consider fellow congregants as family. Although this capacious idea and lived experience of family is in direct contrast to the official Church rhetoric of family as found in "The Family: A Proclamation to the World," the phenomena of ward families illustrates how applying an extended and flexible idea of family in group settings produces caring and cohesive communities.
