Overview"Today more Americans are part of a second-marriage family than a first. Inevitably, these newly blended ""stepfamilies"" will be confronted by their own special problems and needs.This insightful problem-solving guide offers solid solutions--and includes real-life stories from families who've been through the adjustment process. Written by an award-winning author who specializes in health and family care, the book covers a wide range of issues--emotional, financial, disciplinary, and interpersonal.
