“This book made me feel whole again.”
—Julie, http://www.stepchicks.ning
“Wednesday Martin is an incredible author and blogger who has brought a seriousness and understanding to the subject of stepmothering that is rarely found.”
—Patti Deville, The Step Project
“There are many ‘how to’ books for stepmothers; this book offers the ‘why.’ Stepmonster combines rich social and historical research with profoundly real accounts and reflections that will resonate with stepmothers and enlighten their spouses, partners, children, and stepchildren. A very impressive work.”
—Francesca Adler-Baeder, PhD, Coordinator, National Stepfamily Resource Center
“Wednesday Martin presents a refreshingly realistic—and reassuring—look at what it means to be a stepmother today. Ultimately, this book gives women in this often thankless role a reason to get over the guilt and get on with the nuts and bolts of surviving and thriving in a so-called blended family.”
—Paula Derrow, editor of Behind the Bedroom Door: Getting It, Giving It, Loving It, Missing It and articles director, Self magazine
“Read this book before you read any other book on stepmothering.”
—Five-Star Review, The Second Wives Club, http://secondwivesclub.com
