My story is much more tumultuous than Sally's (I have four young stepchildren, a PEW, and a new business of my own complete with relocation), but I relate on so many levels. These stories have gotten me through some tough times with laughter and logic. If you are single without children of your own, think of yourself as intelligent and of a good sense of humor, and thinking of marrying a guy who already has a family from a previous marriage you owe it to yourself to give this book a chance. It will teach you so much more about what you owe to yourself and then some.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A very helpful bookBy Rose BowmanIt is a wonderful book! We met whilst my man still was married and on top of the ex- and 2 toddlers, I had to deal with the separation stress, a divorce, confused children and a fight for half of their custody. Before that book I had almost 0 idea how to behave and I'm very grateful to the author as her advice and guidance enabled me to create some balance and happiness in our household even though we were in the middle of a war zone.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. So good! Had my doubts but WORTH IT.By CYES. This needs to be a staple in every stepmom's reading list...30 pages in I felt so relieved that I wasn't the only woman feeling this way. The book does an excellent job of explaining real-life experinces and being honest about (very much relatable) situations and feelings.It put a lot into perspective for me. I understood bio-mom much better (even though she would be categorized as "psycho" according to the author's description) and it made me reflect on how my actions are perceived by my man and my step kids. Stepmom-ing is hard, don't make it harder on yourself by feeling isolated or alone in your struggles. Easy read, good lessons.
