Step-Brides:
Turn Your June Wedding
Into a Marriage That Lasts
How do new stepmoms kill their marriages? Stepmother, journalist, and author Karon Phillips Goodman—who almost lost her own second marriage—sees some patterns…
· “I already know how to be a parent; this won’t be hard!”
· “This marriage will be easier than the last one.”
· “My family will ‘blend’ quickly and easily.”
In her new 192-page
book, The Stepmom’s Guide to
Simplifying Your Life (EquiLibrium Press, $14.00, ISBN 0-9667393-7-X),
Goodman shows why these expectations are flawed, and how they can be replaced
with realistic, achievable ones.
With humor and compassion, Goodman shares the lessons she learned as she rescued her failing family. The book includes “Tales from the Blender”—advice and anecdotes from more than two dozen other stepmoms.
Featured in Publishers
Weekly, “The Stepmom’s Guide” has won praise from leaders of national

stepmoms.
“A ‘must read’ for any woman who is, or who is
about to become, a stepmother.”
