One Family, Two Family, New Family:
Stories And
Advice for Stepfamilies
By
Lisa Cohn and William Merkel, Ph.D.
A
must-read for stepparents, dating single parents and befuddled
relatives of stepparents, “One Family, Two Family, New Family:
Stories And Advice for Stepfamilies” describes how writer Lisa Cohn
and Ph.D. psychologist William Merkel tackled numerous stepfamily
challenges during their first years together. “One Family, Two
Family, New Family” is filled with practical advice about
step-parenting, plus honest tales from Cohn, Merkel and three other
families about the joys, triumphs, heartbreaks and challenges of
stepfamily life.
“Of all the books written about the unique struggles
and opportunities of stepfamilies, none combine both wisdom and wit
as well as Cohn and Merkel's articulate and compassionate treatment
of the subject. ‘One Family, Two Family’ will be an enormous aid to
anyone involved in creating a New family."
—Alan S. Gurman, Ph.D., Recipient of the American
Psychological Association's 2003 Award for Distinguished
Contribution to Family Psychology and Professor, University of
Wisconsin Medical School.
“Clearly committed to each other and to their
children, Cohn and Merkel write a heartwarming story in a helpful
‘he thought‚ she thought‚” format about their transition from single
parenting to successful stepfamily living.”
—Dr. Margorie Engel, President & CEO, Stepfamily Association of
America

The World’s Oldest Profession Just Got Some
Respect
What Critics Are
Saying About Julianna Baggott’s New Novel:
“In writing a
detailed and astonishing portrait of the making of a madam, Julianna
Baggott has created a story about the strength of women, the way
women love, the power of friendship, and how women survive the often
brutal circumstances of their lives. Her prose is lit with the fire
of passion; it is haunting, luminescent and irresistible. The
Madam is a tour de force of a novel, a compelling crescendo all
the way to a tense and surprising end that you’ll never forget.”—Christine
Witz, author of “The Last Madam: A Life in the New Orleans
Underworld”
