“Nothing short of amazing... Stepmonster is truly unique because it explores stepparenting from the stepmother’s perspective and offers solid research, facts, and data. I’m sure I won’t be the first or the last to say Thank You for writing this book.”
—Five-Star Review, Brenda Ockun, President and Publisher, http://www.stepmommag.com
“Wednesday Martin, I salute you. If you are a stepmother, the husband or partner of a stepmother, or a stepchild, or you simply want to understand more about stepfamilies, read this book. I cannot recommend it enough. And if you are a stepmother, lock your significant other in a room and do not let him out until he has read it cover to cover and then again backwards.”
—Confessions of a wicked stepmother, http://wickedsteppiesconfessions.blogspot.com/2009/08/wednesday-martin-i-salute-you.html
“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
“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
“She’s done it! Martin has told the TRUTH about being a stepmother, backed up with extensive research, interviews, and stories. With deep understanding and empathy for women with stepchildren, Stepmonster will inspire stepcouples, benefiting them and their kids.

I wholeheartedly endorse this surprising, honest, fascinating book and will recommend it to anyone on the journey of stepcoupling, stepparenting, and especially stepmothering.”
