"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? [This book] is essential reading for the professional woman who has it all-- and then suddenly has more than she expecte"--Amazon.com.
