Phillip Marshall has accused his stepmother, Charlene Marshall, of conniving, scheming, and pulling the strings. Basically, Phillip says, his Dad isn’t guilty–his stepmom is. Have a look–and leave a comment!

“Wednesday Martin presents a refreshingly realistic—and reassuring—look at what it means to be a stepmother today. Ultimately, this book gives women in this often thankless role a reason to get over the guilt and get on with the nuts and bolts of surviving and thriving in a so-called blended family.”
—Paula Derrow, editor of Behind the Bedroom Door: Getting It, Giving It, Loving It, Missing It and articles director, Self magazine
“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
“I am impressed and in love with Stepmonster and Wednesday Martin’s views. I highly recommend this book to my fellow stepmoms and clients.”
—Kela Price, LMFT, Certified Stepfamily Counselor, co-founder, http://www.todaysmodernfamily.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.”
—Five-Star Review, Susan Davis Swanson, Director, The Stepfamily Center, Beverly Hills, CA
“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.”
