This book describes the contributions a stepfather can make to his new family, with advice on how he can assume a reliable and reassuring presence in family life. Also discussed are some of the pitfalls a stepfather might encounter and how he can overcome them.

[D · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hard to chew and get through as it tends to be very dry but now I have finished it, I can leave this on the shelf for regular referral on an ongoing basis and my step-son grows and our lives keep changing.

I can honestly say this book has helped us get on the right start and we are friends already. Worth a read.
