 One in three Americans live in a stepfamily, and more than half of Americans      will live in a stepfamily at some point in their lives, according to the Stepfamily    Foundation. 

Much has been written about stereotypes and sometime realities of stepparent struggles and the “wicked stepmother,” but an integral part of all these changing families hasn’t been truly addressed until now - the stepkids themselves. Many people wonder: Will the kids be OK? How will they turn out? Can’t they just get used to it? It’s an incredibly odd experience to live in a situation where you think: “Hey! Who’s in my house?” ​If you think that, you’re not alone. This book shows that.

From struggles to survivals and tips to triumphs, every stepkid has a story. These show the resilience of children and how some - not all – can rewrite a different kind of happy ending.
