Talk for Steps in New York City

Monday, December 7th, 2009

Stepfamily members often feel stressed over the holiday season. Come talk about it--and other step issues--this Wednesday Dec. 9

Come join me for a discussion of stepfamily life this Wednesday, December 9 at 6:30 pm. at the Calhoun School, 81st and West End Avenue on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.

Whether you’re a “step” of some sort, the spouse or friend of one, divorced or separating, thinking about repartnering with kids, or just curious–all are welcome. I will facilitate discussion, answer your questions, and have copies of my book Stepmonster available for sale.

Hope to see you there!

“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
“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!”
—Five Star Review, http://www.BlissfullyBlended.com
“Read this book before you read any other book on stepmothering.”
—Five-Star Review, The Second Wives Club, http://secondwivesclub.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
“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.’”
