StepmotheringThis fairly brief book doesn't spend a lot of time on the philosophy of stepmothering, but instead, gets right to the practical, nitty-gritty information that the reader can use immediately. The real-life stepmom stories that appear on almost every page are both enlightening and inspiring, spoken directly from the heart.

The book covers many issues, ranging from second weddings to money to the ex-wife. The "Tips for Merging New Families" aren't new, but it can help sometimes to take a very basic look at how you're approaching your role. There are also several helpful chapters on discipline.

The "Stepchild's Point of View" chapter is helpful, too, and and full of insight straight from the kids. The book also touches on holidays, vacations, stepsiblings and more. While it doesn't spend a lot of time on any one topic, the broad range it covers provides some quick guidance for the new or inexperienced stepmom.

The "Survival Tactics" are up to-the-point and a good reminder of how we're responsible for our own behavior and feelings. You'll probably also learn something from the questions and answers at the end of the book.
