Overview

Blended family issues impact the vast majority of Americans. Yet, society often sidesteps the topic, while literature leaves a bleak landscape nearly void of practical advice from those who have lived in the trenches. With over 76 combined years of direct blended family experience, including over 18 years with their own family of 10 children, authors Clark and Leah Burbidge are uniquely qualified to fill this void. Their combined autobiographical/how-to guidebook weaves a humorous, tender, uplifting, and critically insightful fabric of 10 foundational principles upon which any family may confidently build. Every blended family and every family can have happier, more fulfilling lives where disruption, disorientation, and contention are replaced by teamwork, progress, and overcoming-oriented achievement. Living in the Family Blender also provides practical guidance upon which any family may build better relationships and a life filled with joy and purpose. Join them on their personal journey and discover glorious possibilities in your own family.

I wish you had written this book . . . years ago before my husband and I were married. We might not have struggled as much in parenting our blended family. . . . THIS IS AN IMPORTANT BOOK! . . . Your book is so inspiring and should be read by every member of a blended family. -Barbara J. Scott, Life-educated blended family spouse and parent
