Great starter crash course
The book is really just a short survival guide of the basics, but its extremely important to have some vital foundational concepts in your head from day one as a stepfather. I gave it five stars because its like the emergency room for men new to this situation. But you also need to remember that just as regular visits with another Dr are VIP for your ongoing longterm total healing, you also need longterm growth as a stepfather and head of household: for what you need to learn at a much deeper level in the long run--I recommend following this book (the ER visit to stabilize your new family just as an ER Dr stabilizes your emergency medical issue) with the much more in depth book titled "The Smart Step Father" for your learning and growth towards building a strong, principled, and functional happy family in the long run. This book is too short, but you need to get out the crash cart in the ER before you can move to a regular hospital room followed by going home and regularly seeing your office doctor until the healing ( in this situation the learning ) is complete. Summary: this book is an excellent crash cart, but then you need the other book as well for the long haul. If you're a new step father, call for the ambulance and get this book and start applying the basics it teaches immediately. We all need to start building strong foundations in our new families before we do anything else, just as we need to crawl before we can walk and must walk before we can run. But do "something" on day one: buy and read and apply this book' s teachings and your drastically changed situation in life will stabilize soon giving you the chance to learn and grow into step two!
