“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.’”
