Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I loved this book. I don't normally write reviews, but I thought it would be only fair for such a unique book. I am reviewing the book as a custodial stepmother. There aren't too many of us around, for a variety of reasons, but even less resources. I know this is a fiction book, but it spoke to me on so many levels. It clearly articulated the many difficulties I have felt in my own life adjusting to life as a custodial stepmom, as well as remembered the children, and even, through Clare, the difficulties of a bio-mom letting go of her child to a stranger. It covers all levels of the stepmother development, some more than others certainly, from the first introduction to the children, to what happens when you go from Dad's "friend" to the outsider in the home he's created. I highly recommend it as a good read, and just as a way for stepmothers to read something where someone else has obviously been in their shoes and can write what they themselves may not be able to say.
