I’m giving away a free, autographed copy of a great book!

My friend and colleague Rachelle Katz, Ed.D, LMFT (that’s licensed marital and family therapist to you and me) is a stepmother and therapist who has been studying and supporting stepmothers for years. She founded stepsforstepmothers.com, a popular website and message board for stepmothers, and she also runs a monthly group for women with stepkids in her Manhattan office. Her book The Happy Stepmother is now available!

I know Rachelle and can vouch that she is, in fact, happy. That’s because she knows how to be a stepmother without going crazy. Rachelle’s book is one of the few research-based, stepmother-centric books out there. And it’s truly a breakthrough because it’s based on her very own comprehensive questionnaires and interviews with 3,500 women with stepchildren. Rachelle spoke to you and women like you to figure out what you want and need in your remarriage or repartership with kids, and how you can get it. Rachelle emphasizes self-care, boundaries, and ways to strengthen your marriage or partnership.

I’m giving away a free, autographed copy of The Happy Stepmother. Just post a comment here on my blog telling me what makes you happy (that gets you thinking, doesn’t it?) I’ll randomly select one commenter to receive Rachelle’s book.

Hope you will join on the Enlightened Stepmother’s Facebook page for a Q & A session with me on Monday April 12th. I’ll be on from 10 am -2 pm answering your questions about stepmothering, stepfamily dynamics, your life as a woman married to or partnered with a man with kids…you name it. Oh–and there will be a giveaway of two copies of my book, Stepmonster. Please join! Click on this link on April 12: http://www.facebook.com/enlightenedstepmoms
