Stepmonster on Steptogether.org, a Great Resource for Stepmothers

Monday, April 27th, 2009

You will notice that www.steptogether.org is on my resource list. That’s because it is a terrific resource for stepfamilies, particularly women with stepchildren, its main users. They have a helpful recommended reading list, essays like the famous “disengagement essay” and lively chat rooms and message boards. All this for free. Check it out when you need to feel that someone understands what it’s like to be a woman with stepchildren. If you find the site as helpful as I do (and you are sure to), you can support steptogether.org by making amazon.com purchases through them, or by making a donation online.

Steptogether.org has a lively thread about Stepmonster (click on “message boards” and then “general topics” and “New Book-Stepmonster”). The women on these boards have been some of the book’s earliest and most ardent fans–you will notice that I quote them along the side of the blog and under “what people are saying” on the website

You can support steptogether.org by purchasing Stepmonster and all your other books through them. Go to http://www.steptogether.org/books.html to see how. Happy reading!

“Her insights are genuine, valuable, and well-presented, and should be taken to heart by all step- and blended-family parents and experts.”
—Rosalind Sedacca, CCT, The Voice of Child-Centered Divorce
“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
“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.”
—Susan Wisdom, author of, http://www.stepcoupling.com
“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
“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.”
