from the back of the book cover: 

The statistics are troubling: an average of 6.5 people leave the Catholic Church for everyone that joins, and 50% of young people who were raised Catholic are no longer Catholic today. The Catholic Church is hemorrhaging young people. 
Behind these statistics are countless stories of wounded families...The passive wait-and-see approach is no longer an option. We need a different strategy. We need to understand the real reasons why our young people drift away, and we need a game plan to bring them home.
