It"s hard to know exactly how to handle the uncomfortable, unpredictable, and sometimes seemingly unmanageable situations that stepparents deal with day by day. Finally, an easygoing handbook for in-the-dark stepparents is here in StepWise - the no-nonsense, no-psychobabble, down-to-earth, practical, and witty guide to dealing with stepchildren in a friendly, sensible, sometimes funny way. Coauthors James Dale and his stepdaughter, Alex Schapiro, offer their insights in a unique, bite-sized format. One of the most important lessons of their experience is that you"ll need your sense of humor, so they tackle this serious subject with levity. They realize raising stepchildren isn"t world peace. It just sometimes seems as hard to achieve.
