The following quotes are from award judges: What are the most positive characteristics of this book?  This is a fantastic book. It really discusses actual ways that stepchildren were raised. It helps anyone who reads it get a better understanding of what the home life of a stepchild could be and gives an insight as to why a child/adult may act the way they do.   I think that is was a great idea to just sit back and ask the stepchildren to chronicle their experiences. I think that their insights were touching, deeply emotional and can give all providers and divorced parents a good concept of what not to do. I liked finding out what they are doing now in their lives, and it reminds us of how precious and volatile a child s psyche is. I like how it is broken down into subcategories and the stepchildren give their advice. I think that is invaluable.   I like the idea behind this book. It was full of what I thought it was good and sound research. I especially liked the ability to get a glimpse into the minds of stepchildren who were now grown up. It was a bit like being able to look in the future and helped understand how things occurring now might affect my stepchild someday. --E-parent AwardSusan Philips, author of Stepchildren Speak, was a keynote speaker at the 2008 California School Counselor Conference. --Aywn
