Reviews
- “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 - “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 - “I LOVE it. She’s writing about you, me, just about everyone of us in Stepland.”
“I swear this woman knows all of us—and has listened to every one of our stories. She is on the side of stepmothers and is very good at showing how we cope with the world we are in.”
“I don’t want to wait for the May pub. date!”
“I only wish I’d found this book 10 years ago. She hits home on SO MANY LEVELS. My recommendation is that ANY and EVERY stepmom should read this. And this should also be required when couples are going for a marriage license. ‘Does he have kids from a previous marriage? Then read the book first. Then we’ll give you a marriage license.’”

One way to look at it.
Another is that a publicity stunt by a fairly untalented band in a mosque or {especially} synagogue would have been ‘interpreted’ entirely differently.
Then we’d be hearing about how “free speech” (sic) carries a responsibility with it to blah blah blah.

Hello Adele, Our situation was quite unauusl. The man I am engaged to was a family friend of my ex husband and I. So the children on both sides knew us both as friends. I personally have had no problem with my step children they love me and have always they actually said when their father and I got together It’s not fair, as kids from a separation we should hate our step mother, it’s kinda the rules, but we can’t hate you, as you have been in our lives forever . My children on the other hand were very accepting at first, and their father had remarried by this stage so they were happy that I was happy. Sadly their father was killed in a motor bike accident, that changed everything.. my children started to resent my partner now telling them what to do.. they were all at difficult ages at the time, 5, 13 and 18. Now as it’s been 11yrs since their loss and the older two have moved out. They see things differently and have a better relationship with him. But in a nutshell in our situation, and in other’s amongst our friends it’s the step father that seems to do it the hardest. thanks for allowing me to have this input. Regards SylviaReply
