Wow. So many good bits of advice in this book whether or not you're dealing with a step family situation. I'd actually like to have my sister read it for some of the stuff going on in her relationship! I might actually want to buy this book.

So, why didn't I pick up this kind of book 10 years ago? Guess I just wasn't ready ; ) Would have been nice to know that it takes 4 -7 years for a step family to feel like a family and why.
