Certified Sexuality Educator Elisabeth Sheff has written a new book entitled The Polyamorists Next Door: Inside Multiple-Partner Relationships and Families (published by Rowman and Littlefield). According to Sheff, the book is the first of its kind to report the findings from a 15-year study of polyamorous families with children. It introduces polyamory, explores the background and practice of the relationship style, and examines the advantages and disadvantages associated with poly families, as well as the strategies the families use to deal with the disadvantages.
