The book explores polygyny, advocating for its adoption within the African American community as a solution to issues stemming from monogamy, which the author argues has led to unfulfilled marriages. Dr. Patricia Dixon presents extensive interviews that reveal the dynamics of polygynous relationships, addressing responsibilities and challenges, including legal and cultural hurdles. She highlights the shortage of African American men as a significant factor and discusses the potential benefits and drawbacks of this marital practice, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of its implications.
