Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 01 8, 2014
This is an extraordinary book for the kind of common-sense, well-reasoned advice it contains. It is rare to find a book that will help two people think about the issues related to bringing a new family together out of two previous families. The logical thing most couples in this situation do is try to bring everyone together before the marriage occurs, and then begin to work out the issues that present themselves. That this is many times not successful would be cause enough to consult this book.More and more blended families exist nowadays due to many reasons. For example, there are many single-parent homes. Parents must ensure they have healthy, loving relationships with their new partners before bringing the new partner into contact with children. "Blended Families" by Lilli Morgan helps readers by giving clear and useful information about people who have blended family homes and more importantly, how these families manage this situation successfully.This is not a step-by-step manual, a guidebook, or a how-to manual. Rather, each family situation will have a wide diversity of obstacles which they must overcome in order to have a successful blended family. This book will benefit anyone who already has a blended family or is considering forming a blended family with their partner. Highly recommended.Reviewed by Thomas Jerome BakerAuthor ofStory Tellers: In Pursuit of Happiness
