Amy is a 30-year-old woman who spent many years polishing an unapproachable outer shell and maintaining a long list of reasons why not to have children. She keeps a canoe on her front porch, a mountain bike in her kitchen and a balance in her checking account.
Mark is an older, divorced man with four kids. He sleeps on an Army cot and eats out of pots and pans given to him by his therapist. He has a Ph.D. in stream ecology, a VW Rabbit with 285,000 miles on it and enough fishing tackle to sink a small boat.
Amy falls for Mark hook, line and hundreds of dollars in sinkers.
This is Amy’s humorous and compelling story of becoming a stepmother. The book has catchy chapter titles like "Can't We Just Duct Tape Them Together and Send Them Outside?" And it contains over 70 tips including "Tip #44: You can't exchange a bad child for a good head of lettuce." This book is a must read for stepmothers and future stepmothers, and a fun romance that might just make you giggle somewhere along the way.

A tale of domestic violence, missing persons and drug-induced psychosis. What happens when a family turns its back on those who ask for help? Sometimes tragic, sometimes farcical, this autobiographical account speaks out about domestic violence and mental illness. In particular it expresses the damage done when family members refuse to admit there is a mental health problem, and instead turn on the person who raises the alarm.
This is a true story of a disappearance triggered by bullying – including cyber bullying – and a Facebook campaign that helped bring a missing man home.
It also describes the devastating psychosis when a depressed patient is prescribed the wrong drugs.
Told through emails and diary entries, with occasional flashes of dark humour, it documents five years of harassment of a family – harassment that caused behavioural problems, physical illness and ultimately, mental breakdown.
