The Single Girl's Guide to Marrying a Man, His Kids, and His Ex-Wife: Becoming a Stepmother with Humor and Grace

Table of contents:

A funny, honest, and empathetic resource for the novice stepmother, which includes advice on The kids: Adjusting to suspicion, resentment, and biological-parent loyalties; The ex-wife: Living calmly alongside her, whether she's a psycho or the perfect mother; The holidays: Accommodating old family traditions and developing new ones; The sex: Keeping love alive through the kids' bed-wetting and nightmares. Plus an invaluable list of resources, websites, publications, and organizations specifically for the new stepmother.

Review:

I found this book to be a welcome breath of fresh air, as well as downright honest. In reading this book, I felt like I was talking with an old friend. Sally's point of view and writing style are very understandable and easy to relate to. I find myself discussing parts of her book with my boyfriend (father of 3), and we both not only get a laugh, but often have those "AHA!!" moments.

I would definitely recommend this book for any woman who finds herself on the verge of stepmotherhood. An easy read, with great tools and insight.
