The Most Effective Endorphin Rush: Sex | December 2, 2009

The Most Effective Endorphin Rush: Sex
by Mary Jo Eustace, edited by Joanne Kimes,
Author of Divorce Sucks: What to do when irreconcilable differences, lawyer fees, and your ex’s Hollywood wife make you miserable

Misinformation From the Stepmothering Industry | November 16, 2009

Misinformation From the Stepmothering Industry
by Wednesday Martin, Ph.D., Author of Stepmonster: A New Look at Why Real Stepmothers Think, Feel, and Act the Way We Do

Books for stepmothers tend to perpetuate certain myths. The myth of the blended family and the myth of the maternal stepmother are the most glaring examples.
