Book Reviews of A Career Girl's Guide to Becoming a Stepmom: Expert Advice from Other Stepmoms on How to Juggle Your Job, Your Marriage, and Your New Stepkids

Book Review: Great Book - Lots of Tips & Tricks
Summary: 4 Stars

I wish they would write a Modern Girlfriend's Guide to Quasi Step-Kids! This book did offer a lot of helpful hints and stories about bonding, loyalty, financial and emotional issues surrounding life after divorce. The only problem I had with the book is that generally ALL the women who lived with the fathers were married. This is not the case in the thoroughly modern world where men and women are not married and live together with involvement with the "step" kids.

This book is a "buy" for me -- and thank goodness I did, because I could refer to Chapter 4 and Chapter 7 without feeling like I was nuts!

Summary of A Career Girl's Guide to Becoming a Stepmom: Expert Advice from Other Stepmoms on How to Juggle Your Job, Your Marriage, and Your New Stepkids

You have an exciting, fulfilling job. You've fallen in love with the man of your dreams?and met his three kids! Now what? Jacquelyn B. Fletcher shows how any professional woman turned wife and instant stepmother can build on the skills she employs at work?organization, team-building, goal-setting, and planning?to succeed at home in her new role as stepmom. Drawing on the latest research, her own experiences, and those of other real-life stepmothers, Fletcher offers advice, hope, encouragement, and much-needed answers to common conundrums, including:

  • Why don't I have control over my own schedule?
  • What kind of relationship do I want with my stepkids?
  • What if I want to have a baby of my own?
  • How do we create a budget that feels fair if I make more money than my husband does?

A Career Girl's Guide to Becoming a Stepmom is essential reading for the professional woman who has it all?and then suddenly has more than she expected.
