Thanks for your responses…

Thank you to those who emailed me about having physically violent stepchildren. I plan to send out questionnaires to all who email me expressing interest in participating in my research on the topic. If I am slow to respond, it is only because of the overwhelming number of emails I am receiving. Please be patient as I really do want to know about your experiences, and will do my best to be in touch a week or two after receiving your email.

Again my email address is wednesday@wednesdaymartin.com

“Hurrah for stepmothers! Your moment has arrived. Stepmonster is a passionately argued, well-researched, unsentimental, whole-hearted defense of stepmothers. It’s a compelling read for anyone who has ever been been married to, or been parented by a stepmom. And for everyone else, too. You’ll argue with Wednesday Martin, you may even roll your eyes, but by the time you finish the book, you’ll have gained a first rate, truly useful understanding of stepmothers’ perspectives and feelings.”
—Janna Malamud Smith, author of A Potent Spell: Mother Love and the Power of Fear
“Absolutely fantastic—will touch a nerve with every single stepmom out there. A wonderful, intelligent, insightful book that will help stepmothers breathe a sigh of relief that they have been heard…As a therapist who works with stepfamilies, and an educator of therapists, I highly recommend this book to all as a very valuable resource.”
—Five-Star Review, Susan Davis Swanson, Director, The Stepfamily Center, Beverly Hills, CA
“Genuine understanding and empathy make this an essential read…an important addition to the literature of motherhood.”
—The Feminist Review
“Eye-opening, well-researched…[Martin] examines from every angle the myth that a well-blended, happy stepfamily is easy to achieve.”

“Unlike any other book about stepparenting or being a stepmother. Stepmonster really reaches to the core of the stepmother experience, [and is] the first book about stepparenting I haven’t wanted to throw out the window in frustration!”
