Summary: I AM normal
Comment: This book is very easy to read. As the part time "carer" for my partners 2 children I found this very practical and I didn't find it "preachy" or too "touchy feely" for me. It really has helped me to realise that a lot of the mixed emotions I've been experiencing are normal and that I'm not a hard hearted monster because I feel jealous or unappreciated.
In order to try to get my partner to appreciate and understand my emotions I have urged him to read this book too. This book is opening his eyes to a lot of experiences that hadn't even crossed his mind and he's the parent!!
We both thouroughly recommend this book to EVERONE with links to the "stepfamily".

Summary: A wee life saver
Comment: A really practical but friendly & chatty guide. Whenever a new problem or aspect arises, it's there in this book somewhere. If, like me, you know no-one else in this situation, it's really comforting to see all the myriad of conflicting emotions whizzing around inside your head in plain black and white with some pragmatic & reassuring comment as well. Indispensible if you value your sanity!!

Summary: Very straight-forward and down-to-earth!!!!
Comment: This book draws a true picture of what being a stepmother is really all about. No false hope is involved. I believe this book has given me a base to start with in my new venture as a stepmother. I now realize you don't have to love your stepchild to be a wonderful stepmother.

Summary: Very down-to-earth advice for step-mothers
Comment: This book was an excellent overview for a new step-mom. It has delightful and poignant life-experiences from real step-moms and even biological fathers. Mostly, it lets you know that you are not alone in your feelings for your step-child, even if those feelings are negative. Allows you to see yourself as part of a community, rather than alone in the world and in this particular situation. Helps you to focus on what is important and advises you to let go of the rest. Excellent chapters on focusing on your marriage, how to handle vacations with the step-children, dealing with your husband's ex-wife, and when to get help. All in all, a very fine book.

Summary: Thoughtful and easy to read.
Comment: The author did a nice job of telling summarizing being a stepmother. As a new stepmother of 3 young children, it was nice to know that my feelings were very common among others. There are areas where I wish she had gone into more depth, but she did a nice job of covering a variety of topics. If I ever have a friend who becomes a stepmother I will recommend this book to her!
